THE POLICE are accustomed to.. trying to recover other people's property that has fallen off the back of a lorry, but not their own. They had that new experience when a sack tumbled off a hired vehicle and confidential criminal records cascaded over a London street. All were said afterwards to have been recovered.
A different kind of random harvest involving a lorry driver occurred at Bilborough, Notts, when he collected £500 redundancy pay. As he slipped the packet into his pocket it burst and a gust of wind blew all the money away. Like the police, he recovered his losses but it took him and passers-by nearly an hour to find all the notes.
