I just shook my head when I read this news story. If your bank account suddenly showed a 4 million dollar gain, wouldn't you figure that you'd not get to keep it?:nope:

TELFORD, England, July 1 (UPI) -- A Telford, England, woman said her 16-year-old son ended up in debt after an ATM fluke indicated he had $4 million in his bank account.

Joanne Bowen said her son, William, checked his account balance at a Lloyds TSB branch and saw the $4 million sum, The Daily Mail reported Tuesday.
"He had several friends with him and they confirmed the figure," Bowen said. "A couple of adults also saw it and one of them reported it to a cashier later in the day."
She said he withdrew $600 from the account and immediately spent the funds on some new clothes and an iPod.
Bowen said she went to the bank and discovered the account was showing up as overdrawn by $600.
"(The bank manager) said at first it could not be possible. But when he saw the records he said he could not explain it and it must have been a fluke with the ATM," she said.
She said William plans to pay the money back.
Lloyds TSB said the incident is being investigated.

I aways liked the what do you mean I'm overdrawn? I still have checks left!

Sheesh, let's not go there, that is part of why I am no longer married. He said exactly that...for someone with a degree in Paleontology, he was a freakin' idiot when it came to common sense.:(

Yep. If common sense were traded on the Dow or TSX (Toronto stock exchange) it would be worth more than Berkshire Hathaway (if you don't know, Warren Buffett stock!)

if you don't know, Warren Buffett stock!
I know about Jimmy Buffett and the all you can buffet. I've even seen a Warren Beatty movie (don't ask me the name), but can't say I own any Warren Buffett stock.:rolleyes:

I have a related news story that also shows that common sence is lacking in some.
Charles Ray Fuller, 21, was arrested in Fort Worth, Texas, in April after he took a blank check belonging to his girlfriend and wrote it out to himself for $360,000,000,000.00, which he presented to Chase Bank. He remained in character after his arrest, assuring police that the check was legitimate, offered by the girlfriend's mother to help him start a record label.
I suppose that if you are in for a penny you may as well be in for a pound.
