Candid camera?
Hi Asher,In the first one, it looks like the girls might have accidentally knocked the cup over! So I wonder if anyone just kicked the cup down the street or just took the money?
The marvelous thing, Jim, is that you stuck around to get a complete story. Kudos! who's to follow?

Hi Asher,
You have turned this into a theme, I presume that that was OK with James? Would it not be better if this was then moved to the themes forum?

Hi Asher,
James caught a nice event, human reactions to an unusual situation. It unleashes the best and worst in people.
As a kid I used to glue a coin to the pavement, and observed in astonishment. There were even people who came back with screwdrivers that they retrieved from home, to pry the coin loose from the tiles. No hidden camera unfortunately.

Amazingly, Bart, I did similar tricks as a kid, right after the war when Ration Books were like currency. without them one couldn't get eggs, teas, butter and the like.
So we'd leave several on the sidewalk, (pavement in the UK, LOL) , and wait until some gentleman in his bowler hat and smart black suit would come by, look around and then try to niftily bend down and grab the said ration books....at which time we pulled the thread attached to it and watched the poor fellow fall over trying to catch it. It was good for laughs for an hour or so and then we had to find a new street corner.
Those were days before Xboxes, Game boys and Ataris or even TV, (we heard of such things but never had seen one in action!).
On the practical side, we'd trade out bacon allotments for more eggs. Actually most of our food came as "Gift of the People of The United States" in the form of flour, milk powder and egg powder!

I wonder why he is sitting in front of the chair and not on it.
