CINNAMINSON — A Burlington County man was put in jail after he didn't return money mistakenly given to him by a teller while cashing a check at a bank, according to a report on PhillyBurbs.com
Felipe S. DePadula, 27, of Riverside is charged with receiving stolen property after a teller at Delanco Federal Savings Bank on Route 130 in Cinnaminson gave him $3,000 when he went to cash a $300 check.

Had both but I closed the personal account when they started charging $10.00 for the privilege.
But I did get about $2000 worth of free airline tickets and gift cards from the business account Rewards program. That stopped last year, too, and I had to cash in the remaining points.
Silly teller!
Younger brother turned out ok.
Struggleing to raise a son, wife committed suicide
after court denied her custody. (She was wacked,
thought her mother in law was casting spells on
her over the telephone...)
One time she showed up on my mom’s porch down in
Florida saying god had told her that mom was going
to die and leave the house to her, and she had come
down to wait.
He’s raised a great son too.
I noticed that a teller credited my account with more money than I gave her, so called her as soon as I got home. The thanked me, and told me I saved her one big headache, since all transactions have to be accounted for before they leave their shifts.
That would come under some suspicion. You don’t normally just lose a withdrawal you made at your bank, still in the envelope. You normally take it out and count it and put it in your wallet. Maybe in a fluke he did lose it, but it sounds like this will go to court.
Also that would be a darn plump envelope for a supposed $300 withdrawal.
A few weeks later on payday he forgot his deposit slips on the counter and everyone who came in used them depositing their paychecks into his account.
Much confusion ensued, about $50,000 worth!
They eventually straightened it out.
She said they were in that building so I asked her to return it to them. I declined to provide my name as it didn't matter as long as they got the check back.
One of the techs I worked with said he knew "somebody in Fort Worth" that would have cashed the check for half of the money and pretty much called me a dumba** for turning it in. I told him I'd rather have a dead man in my car than that damn check.
Unfortunately, part of the definition of theft is defined as keeping something of value that you know to not be yours. He knew the teller gave him too much and tried to keep it.
I can’t tell you how difficult a couple of big banks make my life when I report errors in my favor to them as part of my job. They act as though you’re asking for money, while you are telling them that they counted a check in your deposit twice and should remove one of the duplicated credits.
In the last ten years I think everyone with an IQ over 100 that worked for a bank was laid off and replaced by people with IQs less than 80. The branch staff all seem young & clueless, and the experienced workers are probably collecting unemployment.
“A few weeks later on payday he forgot his deposit slips on the counter and everyone who came in used them depositing their paychecks into his account.”
That’s hysterical (and a great idea...)
“I check the receipt before leaving the teller.”
It certainly does matter when it comes to cash; the teller indicates that it has been counted and it reflects on your copy of the deposit ticket. We always had our local bank telling us cash was missing from deposits (in little amounts), and we had to eat it because we used a night depository and couldn’t challenge it. One day they called and said a few hundred dollars were missing; when they gave me the amount of the total deposit I realized one of our other locations had made the deposit. I called them, and they said the employee that made the deposit had waited at the counter while they counted the cash (and the teller had indicated this was done on their copy of the deposit ticket). I forwarded it to our bank rep, and within a week all of the tellers were changed at our branch.
If that deposit was made at our night drop we would have had to eat it, and I threw this in our rep’s face. The assumption of error on our part was unfounded, while the proof of theft on their part was rock-solid.
“as I gave the check to the teller (I’ll call her Koko), I’m just looking around taking notice of who is around, and my teller yells out in the middle of the bank...”anyone got hundreds”
Peeing my pants...
Thank you
Back in the ‘60s in New Jersey, the bank made a mistake and deposited $20,000 in a struggling businessman’s account. He cleaned it out and disappeared.
A month or so later they found him in Las Vegas via the license number on the car he traded in for a Cadillac. They got everything back but $500. The police asked him why he did it and he said that when a man has been eating hamburger all his life and suddenly he’s served steak, he’s gonna go for it.
The auditors found that he blew the $500 on a hooker. “Best damn night of my life.” he told ‘em.
A large local bank here deposited a national insurance company parking account with millions in my personal account which while healthy was about 2% of that account
it took them two weeks to clear it
Should his charge be theft only? Why if a bank make a mistake in your favor is it theft but if it is a mistake in the banks favor it is just business?
Of course that's been tried before, too!
read the whole article
valid charge...dummy brought this on himself
How do they prove it.
