Bobby Joe owns a company that manufactures and installs car wash
systems. (Magic Wand Car Wash Systems, just in case you want to buy
one.) Bobby Joe's company installed a car wash system in Frederick, Md.
Now, understand that these are complete systems, including the money
changer and money taking machines.
The problem started when the new owner complained to Bill that
he was losing significant amounts of money from his coin machines each
week.
He went as far as to accuse Bill's employees of having a key to
the boxes and ripping him off. Bill just couldn't believe that his
people would do that, so they set up a camera to catch the thief in
action. Well, they did catch him on film!
That's a bird sitting on the change slot of the machine.
The bird had to go down into the machine, and back up inside to
get to the money!
That's three quarters he has in his beak! Another amazing thing
is that it was not just one bird -- there were several working together.
?Once they identified the thieves, they found over $4000 in quarters on
the roof of the car wash and more under a nearby tree.
And you thought you heard of everything by now!!!
And to think the phrase "bird brain" is associated
with being dumb. Not these birds. Share the story!!
