You had one job.

ATM workers in New Jersey mistakenly left behind a bag of nearly $150,000 in cash. Some time later, a man scooped up the bag which was left on the lawn of a business.

Police are still looking for the man who drove off with the bag.

Mahwah police officer William Hunt told CBS New York:

At some point, the person who was supposed to have the bag realized that it wasn’t in the car with him, but at that point, he was seven miles away so he called back to the office to see if it was still at the curbside where he had left it.

The workers had been replenishing an ATM at a nearby business.

Shortly after the bag was left, the unidentified male picked up the bag and drove off in a white van.

Police say the same white van was later involved in stealing some used tires from an auto repair shop. The case is still under investigation.
