No I don't think I would. I am sure the last time this happened the bank didn't try and recover the money.

I wonder what the legalities of that are ?.......if you only made one withdrawal then I guess it couldn't be taken as " theft " as the machine is at fault...........but going back for more would definitely be very wrong .

On a similar subject , when I was a kiddie we used to visit a certain chocolate bar vending machine ( whilst on our way to Sunday school ! ) and if you put your shilling in the slot then two bars would always come out.......we took full advantage of that at the time.............lol..........but I knew it was wrong and I guess that's why the memory has stayed with me all these years .

My answer to the question you have posed Muffy is no I wouldn't take deliberate advantage .

LOL Joanne.......well done for being so honest !!! (If you know what I mean lol)

Kitty........that's kind of where I stand on it.

Though I wouldn't criticise ANYONE for doing it....

If you knew that a cash machine was paying out double......would you deliberately take advantage?
