A California family coming back from the funeral of a loved threw cash out of their car onto a California freeway as an unusual way of honoring the dead relative’s memory.

Officers with the California Highway Patrol said they received multiple calls about cash strewn across Interstate 880 in Hayward, but when they arrived on the scene—the money was gone.
