Is it manna from heaven or moolah from Brink's?

In a police report last week, the incident was described as beginning when the back door of the truck – operated by Brinks Home Security – “opened by unknown means” as it drove down South Austin Boulevard in the city. “Three bags full of United States currency fell out,” the police report said.

When the loss of the cash was discovered representatives from the security company returned to the scene, but found “50 to 100 people removing money from the scene and fleeing the area on foot and in vehicles”. A spokesperson from the Village of Oak Park told NBC Chicago no one was in custody as of Friday.

 

In case you missed your bible studies class last Sunday, "Manna from heaven" is an idiom that refers to a sudden, unexpected, and beneficial gift or provision, often associated with miraculous or divine intervention. It originates from the biblical story of the Israelites being miraculously fed with manna, a bread-like substance, while wandering in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt. 

Although we all know it was probably just Spankie doing his thing...
