The Philadelphia Police Department has launched an investigation after $100,000 worth of dimes were stolen from a tractor-trailer parked in a Walmart parking lot in North East Philadelphia.
NBC 4 Washington reported the truck driver picked up a load of dimes totaling $750,000 from the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia.
The driver then left his rig in a Walmart parking lot and went home in order to get rest for his drive to Florida in the morning.
While the trailer was unattended, an unidentified thief took bolt cutters to break into the trailer and stole over 1,000,000 dimes totaling $100,000.
When police were called to the scene on Thursday morning, thousands of dimes were scattered all over the parking lot.
