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 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 setup a camera to catch the thief in
action. Well, they did catch him on film!
(or HER because that is probably a female looking for nesting
material?---Editor)
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 $4000in
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 this bird
