Today I was at the shop and left my card in the ATM because I'm forgetful like that. This weird looking fella came cashing after me and gave me my card - I was a bit startled and may have came across as rude.
I'd just like to say thanks to him for not robbing me.

your card comes out before the money to stop this from happening

I believe Ed had got himself a mini statement, and then walked off, the other chap got to the machine and it came up with Would you like another transaction...and decided to be nice instead of robbing him

do you expect them once you have given it back for them to run back after you shouting thank you over and over again?

Standing in line at barclays bank cash machine about 5yrs ago, i was running late for work and in a hurry to catch a bus.
Old woman in front of me, walked away and left card in machine. The screen said "would you like to make another transaction?" So i could have easily took upto £300.
I realised her mistake, quickly ejected her card. Then used my card and then looked for her to give her it back.
Spotted her, heading the opposite direction to my bus stop so chased after her, caught up gave her the card. She just about snatched the card from me and she didn't even say thank you!
I missed bus, was late for work and got a bollocking from the boss.
Wish i hadn't of bothered!

anyone read the couple in the paper who found £21000 on their doorstep and handed it into police.
they got the money back as no one came forward within 28 days to collect it. police said it was most likely drug money.
then the silly cunts advertise the fact they've got the money to the whole world in national news 
good people, but retarded.

Didn't they donate the money to the local council to help to renevate a play area?

This didn't actually happen to me.
But what I did do once was leave my card in a chip and pin machine in Sainsbury's. Didn't realise I'd done it until I'd got to the pub I was going to

I would see cheers as lazy but thank you as quite respectful and polite.
Is good they gave back in to the community, most of you would spend it on a watch or a slow cooker.

I was once at a cash machine getting money out and my toddler was messing at the one next to it. Next thing I heard beeping and it turns out a woman left her card in and little one made a cash withdrawel!!!
Took out the card and the cash and went straight in to bank and handed it in
Bet it would of looked funny on the CCTV though, the top of a head and some fingers pressing away
