Drunken German Man Hands Out His Savings

A drunken man in Germany withdrew more than $16,700 from his bank account and started handing out the money to passers-by.

Police in the town of Darmstadt said they were alerted at lunchtime to a man sitting on a bench in front of a bank and handing out notes. The man had the money stuffed into plastic bags and his pockets, with some of it blowing away in the wind.

Officers took the 63-year-old back into the bank and counted the money to find he had handed out $1,935, but that he "didn't care because he had enough".

Police decided to hold on to the rest of the money temporarily and told the man to come back and collect it once he sobered up.
