This happened to me once. I took the money into the bank that the cash machine belonged to. They took my details of my card that i used directly after i found the money and reunited the money with the owner who was the person who withdrew the cash. I got a lovely thank you letter.

I think you've done the right thing. A lot of people would have kept the money, as its very difficult to trace. If no ones claimed it, then charity is the best cause. It is very difficult when your in this position because you want to do the right thing but theres not a lot you can do.

It did with me ... a long time (15 years) ago


Reported theft after someone attacked me at a cashpoint .. turned out the money was sucked back in and the guy was just a drunk not a mugger.

Its happened to me a couple of times (the money being sucked in, not the fight).

Very pleased to see someone being honest and trying to trace the poor old owner. well done Dan.



As a matter of fact, my cards were occasionally sucked back in before Abbey Nat changed its system to make you take the card before the cash, IYSWIM.


I once got zero out, but got a receipt for my non withdrawal of 50 quid. It was a sunday so I was a bit worried but I contacted the bank on the Monday and they were able to give it straight to me, preusmably having been ?50 over when reconciling the machine.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
