ALBUQUERQUE, Aug. 2 (UPI) -- An Albuquerque man said he was in a hurry to leave his home and drove off with a bank-bag filled with nearly $5,000 on the roof of his car.

The man, who asked to be identified only as Jason, said he left home with the gray bank-bag on top of his car Friday and it was gone by the time he reached the bank, KRQE-TV, Albuquerque, reported Monday.

"Bonehead move of the year. I was loading my children in the car and I put the money on the roof and drove off with it," Jason said. "Part of it was for mortgage, but the rest we're kind of doing a remodel on the house."

Jason said he retraced his route but was unable to find any sign of the bag.
