You said you received it by mistake, in other words, you knew it was not yours. Do you always try to use other people's money? Have you never made an HONEST mistake? As for your financial answer, if you were in business, would you stay in business long if this happened to you? Suppose it was a bill for the same amount? Would you just pay it as quick as you stole this money? Let's call a spade a spade, this is stealing as it was obviously not yours to take, period! As for what can happen, let me tell you this, I was recently quite wrongly accused of stealing. Those who know me well know it is just not in me to do this. When this moron was blasted by all that knew me, he dropped it, then realized it was HIS mistake! Would someone who knew you well be so assured you could be so trusted? Twice I have been overpayed when cashing checks. I had one for four hundred and one for two hundred. Both times I told them it was a mistake. I still gave them the opportunity to recount after they assured me there was no mistake. One was about eleven years ago the other close to thirty. I was stopped a couple of months ago by this woman who I had no clue who she was. It was the one from almost thirty years ago! I had long forgotten about that, but, apparently she never did. She had to jog my memory for me to remember. It is for this reason I felt compelled to comment on this.
