Car Wash Thief


Background for this photograph: Bill owns Magic Wand Car Wash Systems, a company that installs complete car wash systems including the change machines used for automatically collecting payments.

Bill's company installed a car wash system in Frederick, Md., and the problem started when the new owner complained that he was losing significant amounts of money from his coin machines each week. He went as far as accusing Bill's employees of having a key to the boxes and ripping him off. Bill just couldn't believe that one of his people would do that, so he setup a camera to catch the thief in action.

It turns out that several birds had been climbing into the coin slot and taking the quarters with them on the way out. Once they identified the thieves, they found over $4000 in quarters on the roof of the car wash and more under a nearby tree
