Kennebunk cops are on the hunt for some guy who allegedly snatched up nearly $7,000 in cash—money that decided to take an impromptu flight off another dude’s car roof a few weeks back. Talk about bad luck.
According to authorities, this whole mess went down near the White Sails Inn, where this young fella made the questionable choice to plop his vehicle sale earnings right on top of his ride. Next thing you know, the wind had other plans, sending bills fluttering all over the street like confetti at a poorly planned parade.
Here’s where it gets juicy. The victim’s old man showed up later, put two and two together, and spotted some other guy scooping up the loose dough like he’d hit the jackpot. Dashcam footage caught the whole thing: pops in his plaid shirt and this mystery man in a blue tee and brown pants, casually playing raccoon with the cash before darting off in a dark gray Honda CR-V.
Nobody at the inn seemed to notice the chaos—go figure. By the time the cops got tipped off, Mr. Opportunist had already vanished. Now, police aren’t mincing words. They want him to cough up that money, pronto. This ain’t some “finders keepers” playground nonsense. We’re talking grand larceny, folks.
Under Maine law, that much missing green turns this into big trouble. If the guy doesn’t fess up soon, he could be trading his comfy couch for a jail bunk. Cops tossed out snaps of the scene, hoping someone recognizes the suspect or his ride.
Moral of the story? Easy come, easy go—just with a side of handcuffs. Grab money that ain’t yours, even if the wind delivered it to your feet, and suddenly you’re starring in your very own true crime episode.
