1. Taking That Which Is Not Yours Is The American Way

It’s Theft, pure & simple.

[PatSeg]

2. Yeah, I found that video very disturbing

[nykym]

3. And now the authorities

Know what you look like and what type of car you drive.

[spicysista]

4. Why would they record and the post this?

I feel sorry for anyone in the background whose face or plates were visible. 👀

5. The real sadness is not how happy these thieves were to find the money, but how thrilled they were

to be filmed.

Special kind of sickness we have here, ugh.

[KentuckyWoman]

8. Agreed.

We are at a point where they are faking things just to post in the hopes it "goes viral". Sometimes it is what I call the "Jerry Springer" effect but sometimes it's planned propaganda.

12. So true.

God, what a country.

[Beaverhausen]

6. I hope most of those people will give the money to the driver is he/she is still on the scene

I know that is what I would do.

[Sympthsical]

7. Yeah, that's stealing

Good job filming it though for future prosecutions.

Although, "We goin to Sizzler!" was pretty friggin funny.

9. doubt the girl in the video stole anything, she's a pretty famous fitness model with 2.6m followers

13. three guys at end of video are mugging it up... fist full of money

[Celerity]

14. Who knows if they kept it. I am sure some of the others did, what a mess.

10. They made a movie about a similar incident

Based on a true event in Philly if my memory's correct. It did not have a happy ending for the absconders, a couple of working class guys who thought their Lucky Day had finally arrived. Until it didn't.

Can't recall the name of the film but remember thinking it was pretty good, nailing the human reaction of the situation--the initial excitement followed by the creeping guilt and fear of being identified and caught, fights between friends, yada, yada.

Fleeting joy.

This was well before twitter or FB or instagram when everyone now feels compelled to take a selfie, be it cataloguing a right or wrong action. Like this young woman offering up a mug shot before the authorities arrive.

Whatever's old is new again!

11. Minor traffic accident?

Is that all it takes to get into an armored car?

[MurrayDelph]

15. Capitalization makes all the difference

"San Diego freeway" vs "San Diego Freeway."

Since I am currently sitting 100 yards away from the latter, but the incident occurred on the former, I'll keep typing.
