Doh!!!!, Actually, I made up the last four numbers. However, the pound £££ (That is wicked cool Ossy kid Thanks) is currently at $2.05 to the £. So, all you math wizards who can find a calculator on your computer (HINTS PLEASE), have a go at it!

Have we found his Achilles' heel?:eek:
More maths questions in the AW quiz please.:p:D:p:D

Rindy, Math is so so for me. Your push for an Arts category would absolutel kill me, as does literature, television, and that humanities/hobbies discombobulation!:p

Think i would have got a statement printed out from the bank just so i could say that i have actually had that much money in my account, (even if it wasn't mine it still would have looked good). Then would have questioned it and would definately not have spent any until it was sorted out. Might have been tempted to put it in a high interest account though then would have tried to keep the interest that was made on the money.
 
I can only think this young woman is one fish short of a shoal. Who in their right mind wouldn't expect the bank to find out its mistake? It's one thing knowing the money wasn't hers but it's another to think she could spend it and nobody would ever know.

It was obviously meant for an account with a similar number to hers and she should have realised that the person who deposited it would query where it had gone. I think she should have treatment for her stupidity as much as punishment for her dishonesty.
 
well for all you who are interested i used to work on cash machines, and i can tell you how it works
1, if you had left the money in the machine it would have retracted and gone into a seperate bin, so when the poor schmuck went back into the bank and explained they could have checked and it would have also left a record of " some money" being retracted
2, because you actually took the money the chances are the bank just pocketed the money as the customer has no way of proving that they had not taken the money

out of interest an old scam used to be, go to machine withdraw 200 when the money comes out, remove a few notes from the middle without touching the top or bottom note, the cash would then retract you could then go in and argue you hadnt taken any
dont bother trying it as ALL modern machine now have a device called a DVLT that measures the thicknes of the notes going out and coming back in

so to do the right thing in future (if you really want to) stand by the machine until it retracts the money, then they stand a chance

I read an article the girl gave to the LET, to her credit she fully admits what she did was wrong, and is expecting to receive a custodial sentence.
 
Many years ago I had a 'bank error in your favour' of £30 - I just kept quiet about it - treated it as 'compen' for the charges they were levying then for just having an account (even in credit) -'The Monopoly of Life'

€ would be alt and 0128 on the number pad
 
The Euro key on North American keyboards {mine at least} can be printed by holding down the alt key while pressing 0128 on the right hand number panel. As Tommy Cooper would say € "Just like that"
