The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
Two days ago I was driving to work and noticed a soft bwapbwapbwap sound. I look over and see that someone had placed a dollar bill under my passenger side wiper. I stop, think "well that's weird" and go on about my day. Today I go out to toss some trash and there's another one. My car is in an open air carport. A brief search of the area turns up nothing.

I can't figure out the scam. Some googling reveals that police think it might be "start car -> notice a dollar -> exit car -> get carjacked" but that makes no sense as 1. my car is a piece of poo poo, 2. there's nobody around to car jack me, 3. it already didn't work. The money doesn't appear to be fake. Maybe its a way to check if someone is actively coming and going from the house? Is it a tip?

What the gently caress?

Then I'd be the one tipping. Maybe I'll leave a chick tract or something.

Next time it happens, replace the dollar with a copy of Limp Bizkit's "Three Dollar Bill, Y'all" CD and a thank you note.

A witch you drew the ire of accidentally hosed up her hex on you that was supposed to remove a dollar a day.

Just let this one ride, and if a cackling hag taunts you about "feeling a little poorer today?" just act sad and keep getting that sweet magic money.

Just because you found it "in the street" even if it is on your windshield, it doesn't mean it is yours and it is stealing to take it.

Some weird psycho has filmed you "steal" their money however many times now.

Who knows what they intend to do with that.

Everything strange that happens nowadays is usually just viral marketing for a movie. They probably saw you and thought you looked like a redditor but you posted it on a dead gay forum with zero exposure instead so they probably gonna do it one or two times again and then cut their losses when they still can't find a thread on reddit after that

After 998 more instances they can charge OP with felony theft.

It's the curse of the Milagro Man. Hurry and give that money to someone else before it's too late.

The “it’s a robbery” thing is a dumb urban legend they won’t go away.

Quick research shows it’s some stupid reddit thing,

Someone is loving the exhaust pipe and leaving payment, but you're being severely low balled.

You need to gently caress the exhaust pipe, work out a suggested retail price, and have it visible on your rear bumper for clients.
