BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say a woman stole $6,000 worth of quarters and her getaway car was a baby stroller.

Bakersfield police officers noticed the woman Friday struggling to push the stroller but quickly realized there was no baby inside, according to the Bakersfield Californian.

Police discovered the quarters, which 29-year-old Darrin Fritz is alleged to have stolen from a home, the newspaper reported. Fritz allegedly tried to flee from the officers.

Wow!

5.67g x 24,000 = 136,080g = 300.005lbs

Yep.

An easier quick compute would be $500 of quarters = 25#...something I 'hv learned from my CRH days.

Whoever makes that baby stroller needs to get the San Jose PD's endorsement to put on the carton.
