    Grab as much as I could. I'm affraid that somehow I don't believe those who say they would report it, it's just against human nature.

    i suppose... if you thought for five minutes.

    If you didn't take it, Someone else would?

    banks are insured for this kind of mistake.

    And i suppose, the worse scenario is that you have to give it all back?

    Just don't spend it just in case the police want it all back?

    I suppose, morally the harm done to society is of no concern. You are part of society. I am sure if you have good karma, the money will more than likely do good to the community. Its very unlikely you will use it for financing some criminal activity or to buy drugs? As long as the money is put back into the economy... it will do no harm.

    Oh my god, im afraid i would grab as much of the cash as i could (in fact i would stay there until it stopped pumping it out) stuff it in my bag and walk very swiftly away. The next day i would take the day off work and go on a massive shopping spree!! The way i see it is if i didn't take it someone else would've had it and who is to say they would've been honest about it!

    First of all i would stand there until i was sure it was done pumping out money. Then I would gather it all up, and take it to the police. Because if you kept it, your bright shiny face is on camera. So you would go to jail if you kept it. Now if you like prison, go ahead keep it. Whos gonna know right?

    Report it to the police. Be honest! And there are cameras on all ATM's so they would be able to get your photo and trace you down.

    I'd take as much as I could and keep it until I knew no-one was going to come looking for me for it then spend it. And I think that is karma - it probably only goes some way in covering the over-priced bank charges I've had over the years,

    Maye I would take half and report the other half since all of the atm's have cameras! Or maye you could cover the camera!

    I would pull my top over my head take has much money has I could then run for my life before anyone sees me lol

    I'm too honest, not to mention the fact that you would get caught anyway... I'd definitely call the police.

    I'd take the cash, then open my wings and fly off to the magic kingdom: )
