If you're planning on test driving a new convertible on the Autobahn, better keep that wad of cash secured. One 23-year-old man apparently failed to heed those words of caution, sending a fat stack of hundred, two-hundred and five-hundred euro bills flying through the air and scattering all over the road near Hanover, Germany. Police arrived at the scene and spent half an hour helping the man recover 20,000 of the 23,000 euros that went airborne, but reportedly couldn't find the remaining 3,000. Local law enforcement warned potential scavengers from looking for the remainder of the cash, so don't go booking your flights just yet.
