New York City office workers who got carried away during the Yankees victory parade apparently began tossing files and documents out the window when they couldn't get their hands on confetti.
A financial auditor who attended Friday's the parade tells The New York Post that he found all kinds of personal financial documents in the mountains of shredded paper tossed from skyscrapers as the players rode up Broadway in Manhattan.
They included pay stubs, banking data, law firm memos and even some court files.
The founder of one financial firm says it reprimanded an "overzealous" employee for throwing records out the window that should have been shredded.
Ticker-tape parades on Broadway are a tradition for champion New York sports teams.
