I sent my wife out to get herself some clothes and gave her a check for $130. She went into the bank, cashed the check, and was on her way. I got a call and she asked me how much the check was for, since she hadn't looked at it. I told her $130 and she told me the bank teller gave her over $900! She asked, "Should I keep it?" I hesitated for a nanosecond and then told her it'd be stealing and she should bring it back to the bank right away.
Needless to say, she told me the bank teller was very thankful and appreciative. He said he couldn't figure out how he made the mistake. The bank teller next to him figured out what he had done - the check number was 932, and that's what he gave my wife!
Thinking back, I don't have any regrets (???) about giving the money back. We did do the right thing...didn't we???
(the $930 sure would have come in handy)
