Crime Scene: A white, one story, concrete block building being used as a bank with the entrance facing north, located on the northeast corner of Main St. and Central Ave., in Berry City USA.

Reconstruction: Known W/M subject entered said location at approximately 10:30am on 10-Oct-12, and approached teller A, and requested his previously ordered box of half dollars. Subject exited the bank after paying for said box and with the box firmly in his arms, fled to a waiting vehicle. Based on below witness interviews, subject hurriedly began ripping open the box and shredding wrapping paper from the rolls of half dollars. Loud whoops of joy could be head coming from inside the vehicle as the unwrapping continued and lasted until the subject drove away from the scene.

Investigation: Consisted of interviewing witnesses, searching the parking area of the crime scene noting that no paper wrappers were discarded in the parking area and then completing a neighborhood check with no further positive results. Writer did note a trail of what appeared to be a yellow liquid leading out of the parking lot as if someone peed his pants, possibly after locating a load of silver that could have been contained in a Dream Box of half dollars.
An alert was issued for the known subject in the effort to insure that he had not succumbed to a heart attack through his apparent excitement.

Interview Teller A: Teller A advised that the known subject, who regularly frequents his bank and bugs the pants off of all the tellers asking for half dollars but often drops off a lot of really nice candy, entered the bank at approximately the above stated time and approached Teller A. Subject purchased a box of half dollars. The subject mentioned that the box was probably just another skunk, but thanks anyway. He then left the bank and went to his car.

Interview Bank Customer Mary Watchitall: Mary stated that she observed an old goofy looking guy exit the bank carrying what appeared to be a heavy brown paper box and hurriedly get into his a vehicle. Since Mary watches it all, she observed the old goofy guy rip up the box and begin shredding paper rolls and after almost every roll shredded he would make wild animal noises, bounce up and down in his seat and whoop with joy. Mary said she could see the gleam of what appeared to be many silver colored coins passing through the subjects hands as he opened the rolls. After a few minutes the old guy drove away leaving a trail of yellow liquid flowing from the drivers door.

Update: A traffic stop was conducted at approximately 1100 am by a motorcycle unit and the old goofy guy was located. It was learned that the yellow liquid that poured from his car was actually from a spilled bottle of Melly Yellow soft drink that had been knocked over as he was excitedly jumping around in his vehicle after finding ****97 90% silver half dollars, the vast majority being Walking Liberty and Ben Franklin halves and a few 1964 Kennedy's, plus 7 40% half dollars, including a 1970D****.
To make things even more exciting for the goofy old guy was the find in the very last roll he checked of a very nice **** 1877 Seated Liberty Half Dollar****.
It was determined that no offense was committed except for a bad case of over excitement. Photos were taken of the found half dollars and will be posted at a slightly later date.

Conclusion
: This case is exceptionally cleared.

HH to all. Pics below

No I mean.. did he really get pulled over or was that added for the suspense of the storyline?

Congrats on a great box and I liked the way you told it!:icon_thumleft: If you get the chance, could you post dates on the Walkers? Congrats on that seated! Could you post a closer pic of it so we could help you determine a grade? You'll be on cloud nine for awhile with that box. WTG!
