Cycleracer Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 You go to the mini bank and the first thing you see is the cash is still in the machine left from the previous person. Yes, i've done it myself taken the card and left the cash. So the person before you is nowhere in sight and the cash is looking at you. Now its fair to say that i would probably take the cash because if i don't someone else will. 1. Would you pocket it or not. 2. A recent case showed that someone did and got a police caution, should he have got it or not. Your views please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBouncer Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I've been in this very situation. Fortunately I remembered the person who was in front of me and set off chasing. They were happy at there £100 back. Ifthey weren't their I would complete my transaction then go into the branch and advise the cashier that the person directly BEFORE my transaction left there money at the machine. They will then be able to locate that persons account becuase they were directly before you. Jobs a good un! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XADRIAN Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I would do the same as Da Bouncer and hope that the cashier would contact the person and not pocket it her/hiself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cycleracer Posted August 1, 2003 Author Share Posted August 1, 2003 BD, what if it was on on a Saturday night outside Morrisons, no banks open. Also what about the police caution, do you think it was justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XADRIAN Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I would go back on monday and also there is now a lot of CCTV near cash points (due to crime) and I would feel happier if I gave it in cuz then my conscience would be clear.... ...any chance of there being a spell check on this here forum as I can't spell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I'd certainly take it into the bank/store either then and there or when it was open. Caution was in order as honesty is still its own reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBouncer Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Still attempt to get the money back to the owner. Then again, if it's a any cash point outside a supermarket, how do you know which bank it is. Take it, save it, and when the police get in touch... tell him you have been saving it till they got in touch! No opinion if the caution was justified.

Good point DB never thought of that, maybe then it would be justified to take the cash back in to the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
