In what I can only imagine is the most exciting thing to happen since the game room vending machine at the lodge where we held family reunions started spewing free candy, a man with only a few hundred bucks in his bank account was able to withdraw $37,000 from a very obliging ATM.

Except no police officers show up. More politicians just keep showing up to drain the ATM dry.
$5 in the $20 and visa versa
Ask for $10 (2/ $5.00) and you got 2 - $20
Bank called me the next day to tell me my account had been adjusted...
I wasn't surprised...
Ask and ye shall receive..
Funny how it usually seems if there’s an error that works in THEIR favor, you’re faced with a huge burden of proof, and even then it can still not be enough to get them to make things right.
only different.
good one
A guy I know once used an ATM machine, typed in a number and got less than he had asked for (but the receipt said he got what he asked for). Now I would have left right there but I guess he needed the money so he tried again with a different amount and got more than he asked for. Being an analytical type of guy he kept trying different combinations until he figured it out.
They had put 5s in the $20 slot and 20s in the $5 slot.
I think he may have posted in #3 above.
Unless he was at BOA hiding in the bushes in Ft. Lauderdale on Powerline road...
It wasn't me!!!
Ha, happened more than once. See #9. (Last I heard the guy in my story didn’t live in Florida).
Actually I don’t think they even put 5s into ATMs anymore.
Was that at the Riggs Bank @ Wisconsin/M St in DC? They had that happen once.
They don't...this happened to me at least 15 years ago...
When $5.00 bucks was actually pocket change !!!
Actually, mine is stocked with $5-ers in a laundromat, so people don’t walkout with all my quarters.
I love to listen to the challenges business folks face.
I don’t quit understand the problem you are describing. People walk off with your quarters?
If all the ATM dispenses is $20s, they change them into more quarters than needed for laundry, so they take the excess with them. That requires me to order sacks of quarters from Brinks, or clean out my local bank’s rolled inventory from time to time. Vending $5s solved that proplem.
