How she coped is you did it for her. Is it such an alien concept that you should help out an old person?
Running off with the money should be the exception to the rule, not the rule. I hope young people will help me when I'm old but I would imagine by the time that happens I'll be mugged on a regular basis.

I had the oposite a while ago, women in front of me left her money hanging out the atm and walked off and got in the car ready to drive off. I took the money and knocked on her window to tell her but she just waved and mouthed something at me and began to drive off. However she then realised the £50 I was holding was hers and stopped 
Didnt really look like a mugger as I had come from work and was in a shirt and tie

I went the other day at dinner, and an old lady was using a cash machine to get some money out to go into morrisons. She pressed for her money and walked off. and left the card and money hanging out of the machine. I shouted her and she turned beck and picked it up.

The money stays hanging out of the machine for a few seconds, then it goes back in and records that the money was never taken, contacts the customer

I'd have done the same thing....ie help the old lady out.
However, It's a bloody shame that pensions are now paid in to bank accounts where OAP's are are left so vulnerable at ATM's

this sounds a bit harsh but in a way im glad my nan has to get my uncle to get her money out, as otherwise she would be at the risk of some mugging cnut to rob her while she is at the ATM

It used to this before people got clever and took a selection of notes from the middle of the wodge and let it suck it back in fooling the cash machine into thinking nothing was taken.
My mate tried it to prove a point and the money had gone from his account.

I think you'd know how to work a cashpoint though.

Anything like that around my area they would be off TBH
Cant stand when young people can do all sorts to old people and get away with it  What they have to remember aswell is they will have an old family member  what they going to do when they start to get crap from some ned.

Similar thing happened to me, a doddery old lady couldn't get to grips with the cashpoint so she asked me to check her balance for her - so I pushed her over......
I thanks you
