Went into the bank on Saturday to take out £3k out of my account, and went smoothly enough. Then got home to check my balance and they had taken out the money but then striaght away put it back with a "COR" listed as the payment type 
So basically given me 3k cash
Will leave it in the bank account for a few months and see what happens, dont want them to come back and ask for it when i dont have anything to pay them with!
Anyone know how long i should wait to see if i get away with it? Or just go back to the bank and say sorry you've made a mistake heres the 3k? Was going to close my account with them anyways.

they will notice if you don't tell them. last time my bank did something like this they let me keep the money anyway as it was their fuck up. we are only talking about £250 though.

Legally i dont think you have to say anything its down to them to ask you for it back. I'd just wait and see what happens

I wouldnt move it anywhere as they wont ask for it back and rather just take it.
I once had £450,000 paid into my account by mistake and they just took it out with no warning or explanation.

I would withdraw it (at this point they will probably realise its a mistake anyway)
open up another account with another bank, leavi it in there for at least 3 months.

Leave it for a while, you dont want to spend it or most of it only for the bank to turn round and say you have to pay it back, its their mistake so just wait till/if they notice.

Just leave it, if its still there in 3 months, winner - more than likely it'll be gone by the end of the week though.
Definately don't move it!

they have every right to take it back
If you withdraw and spend iit, they can still make you pay it back.
