- Aussie's Retrieve Beer Bottles From Down Under -

SYDNEY, Australia - You may have counted bottles of beer on the wall, but have you ever counted them from a river bed? Residents in Sydney, Australia had the opportunity to do just that after a delivery truck carrying 24,000 bottles of beer plunged into the Tweed River. The delivery truck lost a wheel and crashed into the river. The truck was later salvaged, but half its contents remained in the river. That is when many people "volunteered" to
retrieve the precious cargo. Some people donned scuba gear to retrieve the bottles, while others dove straight in. One man eportedly claimed 400 bottles. Although police considered it a theft, Police Inspector Stan Single proclaimed, "I doubt whether in these circumstances we'll be chasing people for convictions."

Man is the animal of opportunity and where booze...any booze is concerned he will not be denied.
Bloody good luck to those that availed themselves of a golden moment.
