Joey Coyle, the man who found $1.2 million in the street
(Reader Contribution to 8 People Who Accidentally Found a Fortune)
Joseph "Joey" Coyle was an unemployed longshoreman in Philadelphia who, in February 1981, found $1.2 million in the middle of the street after it had fallen out of the back of an armored car. His story was made into the movie Money for Nothing starring John Cusack and also a book written by Mark Bowden.
Joey struggled with a drug addiction for most of his adult life. He committed suicide by hanging himself in his basement in 1993.
