Found: Cash hanging out of cashpoint

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

    • All cats over 20 weeks old now have to be microchipped. Please have your cat microchiped if not already done. Your furry companion can then be returned if he/she becomes lost.
    • Off topic but I don't want to start another thread. I just had a Royal Mail delivery of a parcel. The postman ignored a large sign on the door asking people to ring the bell, and just rattled the letterbox, which luckily I heard. When I opened the door, I found the parcel on my doorstep in full view of passers by, and the postman getting into his van a few houses down. I then received an email informing me that my parcel had been delivered to my "safe place", an "enclosed porch". I don't have a safe place, and my porch is not enclosed, it is basically a doorstep to a terraced house . I know posties have a lot to do, but I find things like this really annoying.
    • Thanks, will try AJ Farmers and both Superdrug and B&M sell them. 
    • I finally tried Dai Due Fratelli last weekend. They were so incredibly friendly. Really good pizzas and a good wine selection. Really reasonably priced. I urge everyone to support it.
