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 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!
l
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.
