Naturally, Bill proceeded towards investigating the issue. He decided to mount a video camera to see who exactly is stealing all the coins. Imagine his surprise when he saw several birds carrying all the coins in their nest. After following the birds, he discovered its quarters on the top of a car wash and more in a tree, an estimated amount of $4,000.

Not photoshopped. Starlings (the bird pictured) nest in holes. This one is apparenty “cleaning out the mess” so it can nest.
