kyburgWhile leaving a Torrance bank with an envelope stuffed with several thousand dollars cash in hand, the 70-year-old stumbled, sending 200 or so bills into a strong wind and all over a Sepulveda Boulevard parking lot, he said.
"It was gone in no time," Geier said. "I had flip-flops on and couldn't run that fast."
But almost immediately, about a dozen bystanders rushed to the Rancho Palos Verdes resident - not to pocket the wafting cash, but instead to help Geier retrieve it.
"People ran around and helped collect the money," he said. "They were very good. Kids and blacks and whites - you name it."
With their help, the machine shop owner managed to salvage about 96 percent of the money, he said.
Now, you know why the fella had that much cash on him, right?
But - what an opportunity to find out what the people he lives next to every day are REALLY like, neh?
