Yes.  I recall the story as I think that got air play on the TV a few
months back.

Dear all

Has anyone heard about the Common Starlings that stole US$4,000 from a 
car wash auto cash payment box?  The owner was accusing the manager and 
his staff of stealing from the box. The manager protested strongly so 
they set up a camera and photographed the culprits, not one but a whole 
gang of starlings entering the change slot at the bottom of the box and 
emerging with as many as three quarters (coins) in their beaks.  The 
cash was found on the roof of the car wash and under a nearby tree.
