It rained money in Hong Kong on Christmas Eve after the doors of an armored car sprang open, resulting in the spill of about $4.5 million, which overzealous pedestrians scrambled to retrieve.
The spill took place in Wan Chai on Tuesday, after a problem with the vehicle's rear doors caused them to open. As the money coated the busy street, people reacted as you expect they might at the sight of millions of dollars. Local authorities have asked people to return the money, and will continue to hold their breath until they pass out.
Police have, however, arrested a 43-year-old cab driver and a 36-year-old woman in connection with some of the money's disappearance. They were also fortunate enough to recover about $733,000 on the road and in other assorted locations. Good luck finding the remainder.
