Bill owns a company that manufactures and installs
car wash systems. 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! 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 $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!! !!And to think the phrase "bird brain" is associated with being dumb. Not these birds. Share the story!!
