magine waking up one day to find an extra $120,000 in your bank account. You did not make $120,000 or win $120,000, but there it is, $120,000, just sitting there. Cool!

What would you do with all that cash? Pay off the mountain of student loans you’d otherwise be stuck with till you die? Buy a house? Buy a car?


Maybe you should call the bank and find out what’s going on?
Yeah. Yeah, you definitely should call the bank.


Robert and Tiffany Williams of Montoursville, Pennsylvania, did not call the bank, police say.

When a non-hypothetical $120,000 intended for a business was accidentally transferred into their BB&T bank account because of a teller error, the couple splurged on a camper, a Chevy and a racecar, state trooper Aaron Brown told the Williamsport Sun-Gazette. Authorities say they also distributed $15,000 to friends who needed the money.


All told, they spent $100,000 in about 2 1/2 weeks, WNEP reported.

I don't think the ancient laws of finders keepers losers weepers is going to work in this case.


They've not only put themselves in legal trouble but their friends as well.


At least if you're going to spend it, buy airline tickets to a country with no extradition and spread some bribes around.
