Wiring money to the wrong account

I took £3,000 cash to a bank in a carrier bag to pay in once from a shops takings, plonked it on the counter (this was 30 years ago when it was a lot of money) only to be told I was in the wrong bank, so I had to shovel it back into the carrier bag and slink out looking nervously over my shoulder.

The worst thing was when I went to drop some money in a night safe, opened it and the bag from the previous person was still there, so I instantly closed it then opened it again, to drop it in the deposit box. I then stood there thinking 'I wonder how much money was in that bag?, I could have just taken it? '

Did they ever catch the Chinese Kiwis that did a runner after getting a huge stash wrongly deposited to their account?

Last I heard they were trying to track them down in Hong Kong.

Pretty sure most of them could manage a simple bank transfer though.

KW is entirely correct here.

If you receive money which you know is not yours then you have a legal obligation to return it. If you keep it with the intention of "permanently depriving the owner" of that money then you are committing theft. This applies to money from any source, whether it be a bank transfer or, indeed, a tax refund.
