Uh, just be careful out there. I love all my fellow penny picker-uppers. I'd A) hate to see you in jail and B) don't want to use our collected funds to bail you out. So don't do what this guy did (as reported on Foxnews.com--http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,389286,00.html). Just stick to the stuff you find in streets or metro stations!
Florida Man Arrested After Stealing 42 Cents From Fountain
NAPLES — Forty-two cents won't get you very far these days, but for a Southwest Florida man, it was enough to send him to jail.
Naples police say 43-year-old Laslo Mujzer swiped 42 cents from the Coastland Center Mall in Naples on Monday. Officers arrested Mujzer after a mall customer saw him fishing around in the fountain.
A sign attached to the fountain said that all coins thrown into the water are donated to Habitat for Humanity.
Mujzer was charged with petty theft under $100, a misdemeanor, then booked into the Collier County Jail. Sheriff's officials on Wednesday said a judge had released Mujzer on his own recognizance but said he was in jail on an immigration hold.
A Penny & A Poem
After lunch (whilst in a bit of a calorie coma) I logged onto my Yahoo account to see if there were any messages to distract me from work just a few minutes longer. Lucky for me...I found the following about Dad's big find:
This morning, on my walk I went,
In my extra calories I put a dent,
and on the walk I found a cent!
Dad
Ah, penny inspired poetry. Gotta love it! :-)
