niggles Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Reports of the cash shower – which included $50 and $100 notes falling across the Western Ring Road before the Milleara Rd exit in Keilor East - have raised questions on origin of the mysterious money.Police are warning drivers who claim to have pocketed the cash to hand it in.A man, who wished to remain unnamed, claimed he was driving when he entered the whirlwind of cash just after 6.30pm."It was like driving through a cloud of confetti," he told FoxFm this morning."I reckon it would have hit the road 10 seconds in front of me. It was just flying through the air."There was so much in my face I couldn’t see anything in front of me. I thought it was all fake."I pulled over and found about $300 within two steps."The man said six other passers-by also pulled over and together the group peeled cash off the road for four hours.He said he collected $8400, while the other people at the scene informed him they had pocketed up to $12,000 collectively."Either the bottom ends fallen out of an armed car, or somebody’s just thrown it out, or a Tattslotto winner (has) thrown it out," he said."I reckon there’s still going to be a whole heap in the grass."Keilor Park’s Daniella Laganga, 28, said she was driving towards the Milleara Rd exit on the Western Ring Road at the same time and saw the cash.She said she saw "rectangular notes flying through the air" but did not recognise it was money."I thought nothing of it. I had no idea it was money," she said."There was a bit of traffic in the area and I had run over something on the ground which nearly busted my tyre. That could have had something to do with it; I don’t know."But even if I knew it was money I don’t know if I would have stopped. I would have been scared."Read more: http://www.news.com.au/money/money-matters/motorists-showered-with-cash-on-western-ring-rd-reports/story-e6frfmd9-1226352947901#ixzz1uWzb94XL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
