And Finally... £23k blown out of convertible (oops)
Notes worth £23,000 blew away when a driver lowered the roof on his sports car in Niedersachsen, Germany, yesterday.
The driver of the Audi A3 convertible, a 23-year-old man, was test-driving the vehicle on Wednesday and unwisely placed the pile of crisp 500-euro notes to pay for the car on the back seat.
When he realised his costly error, he called the police, who closed down the motorway during the hunt for the notes.
A search for the cash recovered 40 out of the 46 high-denomination notes, meaning the test-drive still cost him a pricey 3,000 euros.
According to Die Welt daily, police are now deciding whether he will also be charged a fee for the operation, which caused tailbacks in both directions.
