Money sure is tight these days. So it made it all the better to see it flying all over the San Diego freeway the other day.

But not so fast.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration wants the loot back, and is going to great lengths to get it.

The Associated press is reporting that DEA agents plan to review a video of a freeway chase in San Diego to identify motorists who grabbed the cash that was being thrown of out a vehicle in fistfuls by two men during a police chase on Thursday.

Some have given back the money, others have not, the wire service reported.

The chase was apparently captured on television and surveillance cameras.

The Associated press reported that DEA spokeswoman Eileen Zeidler said that after the suspects were arrested police and DEA agents recovered more than $17,000.

Zeidler told the AP that the money is considered evidence.
