Evening all
I received the following email that appears to be doing the rounds at the
moment about birds nicking money out of a coin box of a coin operated car
wash in America.
The email actually comes with some pics but I don't know how genuine the
pics are. I can email the pictures to those that are interested. The
culprit apparently is a starling.....read on....
Cheers

"YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS ONE!"
Bill owns a company that manufactures and installs car wash systems.
(Magic Wand Car Wash Systems, just in case you want to buy one). Bill's
company installed a car wash system in Frederick, Md. Now understand
that 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 setup 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 (pic).
The bird had to go down into the machine, and back up inside
to get to the money! (pic)
That's three quarters he has in his beak! (pic) 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!
