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.

    • A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
