A bit diferent story, but it belongs to the title "Going to get a new car":
http://www.haz.de/Hannover/Aus-der-Stadt/Uebersicht/23.000-Euro-bei-Probefahrt-aus-Cabrio-geflattert
The Autobahn close close to Hannover was blocked, because a 23-year-old guy has lost 23 000 €. The police let him pick it up (except 3000 € he had found it again).
He made a test-drive with an Audi A4 Cabriolet, asking price 25 000 €, and had the money in an envelope. This envelope he had put on the back seat. When he drive fast, it flew away.
Perhaps it's typical German style, but the discussion in the forum underneath included some enviousness "Why had a 23-year-old so much money left for buying a car?" and why the guy not to had pay to the police-work.
Ca.3 years ago something similar happened on the Autobahn 43 close to Bochum. A guy had a bag with 100 000 € with him, he wanted to buy a machine for his company. On a rest-area he made a pee - and let the bag on the car's roof. Shortly later he say the money flying around.
Several other drivers had stopped and had helped him to find it back. Unfortunately several thounsands were disappeared. Strange, because so many people have helped the guy...
