Went to our bank today.

Going over our accounts I noticed they had made a mistake and added $60k to one. I pointed it out, verbally and they said not to worry, they’d catch it.
So how long can I wait to withdraw it. I have lots of time.

take the money out and I'll put it in a safe place in case they find the error.

I wonder if I waited a few years I might get away with it.

Then go inside and re-deposit it back into the same account. Call over a manager and shout "Psyche!" You'd have something to tell your grandchildren when they think you're square.
