Having both a mother and a mother-in-law who have worked as bank tellers (and having managed a cash register myself), I know how hinky banks get about drawers being short.
Which makes this particular “bank error” even more bizarre:
A cache of cash found in the Columbus landfill was the result of a bank error, police said.
The money — more than $46,000 — was found on July 23 by a backhoe operator who was digging through mounds of garbage at the Pine Grove Landfill. That was about the same amount of money a Columbus bank official told the local FBI office in July 2002 the bank had misplaced.
And, not surprisingly …
The money was returned to the bank Friday. Officials asked police not to reveal the bank’s name.
I’m sure their depositors would be interested in knowing …
