Three bags of money fell out, and the $20,000 in cash went flying in the air when a car hit two of the bags.

The crew tried to pick up as much of the cash as they could, but they still ended up with a five-figure loss.

People in the community say they are on the fence whether they would give the money back or keep it for themselves.
