MAHWAH, N.J. (AP) -- Police say a man drove off with a bag containing $150,000 in cash after two employees who were replenishing ATMs mistakenly left it on a lawn in northern New Jersey.

Mahwah police say in a news release that the ATM employees had stopped at a business on Industrial Avenue when one of them placed the satchel on the front lawn as he moved items around in their vehicle.

No.
Talk about an inside job.

The van was seen in other video surveillance pulling into a nearby auto repair business and pilfering used tires.
............
Dumb luck strikes even the dumb. The guys who got the bag are not going to get far. They sound dumber than a bag of rocks.

If it was an inside job they wouldn’t have gone next door to steal tires. Occam’s Razor here says stupid happens.

I forgot my wallet/drivers license yesterday and only found out when i stopped at Denny’s. Had to drive back and pray the cops don’t pull me over. But not as bad as this.

if i open a nondescript bag in the middle of nowhere and find $$$ ... i’d have no qualms about claiming it. if that bag was clearly marked and sitting on the lawn in front of that business, i’d have to make sure it got back to the store owners.

i like to ask people that hypothetical once in a while... let’s you know the type of person you’re dealing with.

so far, it’s about 50-50, tho the ones taking the loot under both situations have always been male dems (female dems try to be a bit more honest, at least hypothetically)

I’m curious about one thing...unarmed employees are moving that amount of cash around in a van? Then why do we have armored cars? These would seem to be an easy target

Considering they will probably have to pay it back to avoid possible criminal charges as well lose their jobs, they aren’t ahead by being involved in a stolen money scheme. $75,000 each is not really worth anything these days.

Might be they've stopped using them as they would be easy targets....a regular vehicle would not be
