    TORRANCE, Calif. (AP) -- A dozen bystanders rushed in to help a 70-year-old man after he stumbled leaving a Southern California bank, causing thousands of dollars to scatter in the wind.

    Ludwig Geier says hundreds of bills were "gone in no time," flying through the air and littering the First National Bank's parking lot in Torrance on Monday.

    Almost immediately, about a dozen bystanders rushed in to help. The machine shop owner says about 96 percent of the money was found.

    Geier says he's going to pray for those good Samaritans, adding, "If I could get them together, I'd buy them dinner and drinks." source

    I guess the other 4% grabbed the money and took off running?

    Or it simple blew away and was not found right away. I would prefer to believe the latter.
