Coffee Can Found at Edge of Oil City: Is It the City Treasury?

It’s been almost four years since the coffee can containing the city treasury went missing. The loss of twenty dollars devastated the town, which has struggled to recover since. Today, hope may have been reignited after a strange can at the edge of town was discovered next to the railroad tracks on the south side.

“I was just walking next to the river when I noticed this rusted can,” Martin Mugshot told reporters. “It is completely rusted, but may contain the money our city left inside of it before it went missing.”

Experts at Venango Campus are working tirelessly to find a way to open the can. With the town’s electricity being used to run the bridge lights, professors are forced to depend on hand tools for the project.

If the can is discovered to contain the city treasury, Oil City will finally be able to pay off their loan to Franklin for the bidet toilet seat in City Hall, which also is the City Outhouse. Other loans to Franklin will remain for the time being, but are predicted to be addressed in the Franklin mayor’s dreams.
