SOUTH PORTLAND (WGME) -- It's something we've all imagined at one time or another, going to an ATM and having the machine mistakenly spit out thousands of dollars. Never happens, right? Guess what? It did happen at a bank ATM in South Portland early Thursday morning.
This all started at one in the morning, when officers were called to a TD Bank branch on Maine Mall road. A transient was inside the bank sleeping beside the ATM. Officers went inside and moved him along. But, he came back.
At 5:30 in the morning, a woman waiting to use the ATM in this bank called police to report a man spending an unusual amount of time at the ATM. When South Portland police officers drove up, they saw this same homeless man inside filling a shopping bag with cash from the ATM. How much? It turns out it's more than $37,000 in cash.

And here we go, throw the frickin homeless man in jail for enjoying a windfall. Banks never lose.

So he should be able to keep the money?

No but he also shouldn't be charged with a crime or have to repay it all.

When I lived in Boston, the ATM at the end of our block was in a heated room. If it was below freezing, we had to step over the homeless guys to use the ATM. Amazing what you get used to.

I mean, it's you fault for leaving the keys in the vehicle

Your a very special person aren't you?
Your saying he can't keep the money, but at the sametime say he
shouldn't have to pay it back? So what happens to the money?

Yeah, but the bank doesn't need the money, the bank can get more (sarcasm).

How does a homeless guy have a debit card to begin with?
