You could at least have waited to see if anyone came back for it just for a laugh. If it was someone in a City shirt say.

Had my own touch of luck with money today - walked up to a cashpoint at lunch and saw £20 there waiting for me to collect. Lovely. Can't beat free money!

except it's not.

Firstly it wasn't yours and it was in the machine, so it's theft. Secondly, unless the ATM is fitted with a camera that person will not get their money back off the bank, as it will register as a completed transaction carried out by them.

had you not stolen it, the machine would have taken the money back and recredited the account. It's owner was traceable, unlike a £20 note floating about the street.

For all you know that was some pensioners last £20 to survive the week on.

Is it any wonder this country is becoming a haven for chavs and scalles when those who are supposed to be upstanding members of the community think theft is ok?

must. resist. stereotyping.

Do you have that on good authority that the bank re-credits the account should the machine suck it back up?

very - think about who sponsored the golf day

Until she got home and lifted the carpet of course.

My personal view on this is if I found any thing valuable I'd hand it in.

If no-one claims it you get to keep it if someone does claim it you get to feel warm inside.

Bearing in mind my proviso above.

[Dr Hotdog]

Aye I thought about that when I asked, which is why I asked.

Now if that was me I'd hang around and see if the person came back.

I'd like to think if I was daft enough to do this then someone would do it for me.

Well I did - walking down Bold Street I noticed that the cashpoint was free, thinking 'great, I don't have to queue' (as is oft the case in Liverpool of a lunch-hour) and this was sat there on the machine. I completed my transaction and waited around (my girlfriend was chatting to some random person I didn't know). Nobody returned to the cashpoint/bank.

For all I know it was some error in the cashpoint - aren't they designed to suck the money back in after 10/15 seconds or something if it's not taken? There'd been nobody at this cashpoint for a good 30 seconds before I got there, yet the money was still there.

As for all this 'some granny's last £20' bollocks, that's all it is - bollocks. I'm sure this hypothetical old dear is a lot less profligate with her money than to request her last and vital £20 from a cashpoint and then walk away without taking it.

And since when was I an upstanding member of the community, anyway?

True story. Found a tenner on the floor in Tesco's and went to hand it in. When I got there, there was an old dear in a right state because she couldn't pay for her shopping and this was pretty much all she had left to last her the week. To see her face when Ihanded it to her....

A couple of months later, found another £20 on the floor and decided to keep it as I was a pit skint and needed to put some petrol in the car. Pocketed the cash and drove to the petrol station. Pulled onto the forcourt and some twonk in a van broadsided me.

That's Karma for you - just ask Earl!

Haha, instant karma eh? I'm certainly in no moral quandary over this - I do my fair share of good turns and fortune smiled on me in this case. There have been other times when it has taken a rhino-sized shit on me too, so I take the rough with the smooth.

It's been put to a good cause, anyway - going towards buying a birthday present and some grub for my mate who's coming round tonight with her kid (along with a bunch of other reporobate friends of ours) who I shall be feeding in a surprise party sort of style.

What's the thread title again? Since you ain't honest and definitely not a Wanderers fan, I guess that absolves you.

And I said she was unmarried where?

[coffeymagic]

You see that picture of Suranne Jones (commieworkethic) she has got a mighty fine pair of lungs on here but she doesn't really do 'sulty' does she? I believe the word we're looking for is 'Glakeit'

Still.....

Sultry.

[superjohnmcginlay]

And the other one?

[coffeymagic]

I'm not too sure on the spelling but it means, 'ow do you say...'gormless'?

Not stupid but like there's no one at home.
