A true story

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 had seen and heard of everything by now!! !

And to think the phrase 'bird brain ' is associated with being dumb. Not these birds. Share the story!!
 
A bit of Fowl play going on, lol, Those birds were getting cocky. They were gonna use the money to buy something Cheep! 8D. I heard one of the birds say to another, "quick we've been caught, wing it!!!." There was another bird not on camera, he was meant to help steal some coins, but he was too chicken. Another different bird was meant to help, but he was a bit of a drongo, so he didn't know how to get the coins anyways, then another one was gonna help, but the main bird didn't like him so he said, "bugger off you turkey!!!". I bet all the reporters and newspaper crews flocked to this place. The bird in question got sick of all the media attention so he decided to head south.

Anyways, I could probably think off more lame puns, but I gotta fly.

wow did you ever hear how they stopped it...
 
I don't know how that type of bird breeds, but maybe he saw the coins slot or whatever it is as a potential nest site. Birds will clean out scrap in hollows etc to prepare their new nests. So it mighta been removing the coins to prepare a nest. Did this occur in spring? or close to spring?
