The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsIt doesn't pay to be dishonest
Well wouldn't it be nice to get some free extra cash? Yeah it sure would, but not like this! Some boneheads actually kept the extra cash, now they could be prosecuted for not being honest!
An ATM at a northwest Louisiana truck stop gave out $20 bills instead of $5s, but authorities say they know who took the extra $7,000 the machine spit out and plan to track them down.DeSoto Parish sheriff's Lt. Toni Morris said the automated teller machine has records showing 26 people who received the extra cash during five days in late June and early July.
Annette Parker, a supervisor at Eagle's Truck Stop, said she unplugged the machine after overhearing conversations about the excess payments.
"The next morning when we had come back in, someone had plugged it back up," she said.
Morris said someone who did not work at the truck stop may have rigged the machine, which keeps records of when the money was taken and by whom.
Morris said charges could be brought against the people who got more money than they were debited for.
It just doesn't pay to be dishonest! Now maybe..............nah never mind!

And then there's the story of the Japanese woman who opened her mailbox and found 1 million yen. It freaked her out and she reported it to the police.
