A Lloyds TSB cash machine in Altrincham, Greater Manchester started paying out double the amount of withdrawals yesterday at 3.00pm. Word spread around and crowds gathered to use it. [more]http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/s/1063927_cash_machine_pays_out_double
Amazing that the bank said those who withdrew could keep the $$!!

I also can't believe they were allowed to keep the money. It's sorta like 'theft by deception'.

Unreal!

It's definitely considered theft - at least in this country, and we got our legal system from them. Of course going after people for theft would be bad PR.

I've read that Manchester, England ranks number one on the list of WORST cities in the world to visit--a grimy, dirty, misbegotten industrial town of toothless thugs who treat visitors like the world's biggest dolts for even CONSIDERING visiting their dumpy town.
Me being from Gary, I'm sure I'd fit in just fine.

Manchester is a very druggie town, gn crime is rife.
Apart from that, its the home of Manchester United-I luv them.

Perhaps the customers were allowed to keep the money because the machine was spitting these out:
