Lisa and I passed by this on Monday night, but sadly were not rewarded with part of the cash. According to the [followup article](http://www.nj.com/search/index.ssf?/base/news-7/109704308754290.xml?starledger?nnj) 95% of the money was recovered, but that still means $100,000 are floating around the turnpike somewhere. Sadly, none of that money ended up on our windshield, though we did see all kinds of recovery vehicles and whatnot at the site.
