Apparently,a drug suspect tossed over $17,000 all over the freeway & folks were scrambling to get it!The police have recovered some of it.But,the DEA wants those motorists who haven't returned it to do so immediately.Or else...

Here's more on this story from sandiego6.com:

"The Drug Enforcement Agency wants its evidence back, and is warning that it has ways to identify motorists who stopped on two San Diego freeways to scoop up thousands of dollars thrown out a truckwindow by two narcotics suspects during a chase.

Agency officials said that an undetermined amount of money picked up bypassers-by on the 805 and 5 freeways is evidence in an ongoing druginvestigation and must be returned to the feds, said DEA spokeswoman Eileen Zeidlertold.

DEA agents and police recovered more than $17,000 after the Thursday afternoon chase.

The suspects, whose names have not been released, were taken into custody Thursday. Details about the investigation and how the chase began have not been released.

Zeidler says the agency has "a good ballpark idea'' of how much money the suspects had, and that the majority of it has not been accounted for. She said it will be next week before all the counting is done.

Some motorists returned the cash to the police. Zeidler said the agency will try to find the people who have not returned the money.

The spokeswoman said citizens are calling and sending in photos of people picking up money and their license plates.

A San Diego police helicopter and Caltrans cameras along the roadway also will be analyzed to identify people who scooped up the illicit cash.

The agency may also ask to examine video shot from other helicopters including San Diego 6 News' Sky6."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
