When Santa Claus slips into cash machine...
0 Comments | AFP, December, 2006
ZAGREB (AFP) — Dozens of Croatians could not believe their luck when a cashpoint paid out twice the amount requested just before Christmas. Instead of 50 kuna bills (seven euros, nine dollars), customers received 100 kunas. News of the machine making bountiful Santa Claus style handouts quickly got around and dozens profited from the faulty cashpoint in the northern town of Zlatar Bistrica two days before Chrismas, until police stepped in to halt the generous payments, the daily newspaper Jutarnji List reported.
Authorities have confirmed the incident but refused to reveal the amount of money lost. The blunder was apparently caused by an employee of Zagrebacka bank in charge of filling the machine with cash. © 2006 AFP
