Thousands of dollars fell out of an armored truck and rained cash all over a San Diego highway 😱💰

Imagine driving down the road, minding your own business, when a cloud of money suddenly descends from the heavens, showering your car with cash.

Check it out:

There's only one problem with this windfall: Taking cash from an armored truck, even one where the back door flew open, is a crime.

So is stopping your vehicle and blocking traffic on a highway.

CHP Sgt. Curtis Martin said the doors of an armored truck came open on the interstate, sending cash flying. Traffic was halted as numerous people got out of their cars. The armored truck driver started picking up the bills but eventually began recording people taking the cash, according to Martin.

Two adults, a man and woman, were arrested on suspicion of taking money, the CHP official said, adding that the pair's car was blocking traffic after they got locked out of their vehicle. CHP said officers were aware of videos on social media that could serve as evidence in their search for those who grabbed cash.

The police are asking anyone who took cash to return it, but that they'd likely face charges if they did, which has to be the weirdest pitch of all time.

"If anyone picked up cash, please bring it to the CHP office in Vista and we will go from there," said Martin, who also said he couldn't guarantee if punishment would be avoided for money that was returned.

Somehow, I don't think people who stole the clouds of raining cash are going to take him up on that offer… they're gonna need that money to afford a single tank of gas in California!
