(CNN) — Money is slowly trickling into a Michigan police station after a man accidentally spilled $30,000 onto a highway.

A cardboard box full of cash fell from the back of the man's truck onto US 31 in Grand Haven on Thursday, the city's Department of Public Safety said.

Police responded after reports that traffic was backing up as motorists stopped to pick up bills "strewn in the roadway."

"Officers temporarily closed traffic lanes and were assisted by witnesses with picking up the money," the department said in a statement Thursday.

1. Now this is truly weird news.

I have my doubts about a full recovery of the spilled money - which makes it sad news as well.

But I just don't understand how anyone could forget they had a cardboard box filled with that amount of money on the back of their truck. Which makes it weird, sad, and something else. I don't know what, though. How does one come about having $30,000 cash in a cardboard box in the first place?

2. This happens every couple'a years. Cops' press release:

"If you picked up the money, please return it expeditiously, as we know who you are."
