University of Delaware student Devon Gluck returned $1,800 that was mistakenly dispensed when he went to use a campus ATM last month according to the Associated Press.
On Feb. 1, Gluck was expecting to take out "a few bucks" for the weekend when all-of-a-sudden 18 $100 bills came out instead according to The News Journal.
"My eyes just opened really wide, and I was like, 'Oh my God, this is $1,800 right here,'" Gluck said of seeing the machine distribute so much money according to The News Journal.
Gluck wasn't sure what to do with the money, but knew a mistake had been made and after a few seconds of thinking about it, he decided to take the money home and figure out what to do with it.
Four days later, after talking with his father, Gluck decided the right thing to do would be to return the money.
"After a couple days of just thinking about it, the right thing would be just to return the money," Gluck said according to The News Journal. "I mean, it was just eating at me at the time because it isn't mine and I didn't even know what to do with it."
A PNC spokeswoman Marcey Zwiebel stated that a student had returned cash mistakenly dispensed at an ATM according to The News Journal. They were able to put the money back in the student's account which the money was withdrawn from as well, but would not provide further information on the incident.
"Honesty is always the best policy when talking about money, and keeping money that you're not authorized to have for any amount of time is unlawful," Zwiebel said according to The News Journal.
Gluck did not receive an award for his good-deed, but was thanked by the PNC branch manager for doing the right thing. Gluck said that the potential repercussion of his actions, and "the fact that the money was not his" definitely bothered him and swayed him to return the money.
"This kid shows that people are often a combination of those," Powers said to The News Journal. "They take consequences into account, and obviously he felt a little bit of guilt - he must of thought there was some rule or principle there at stake."
