Would You Be Tempted?

You put your card into an ATM machine and it dispenses more cash than you requested. Do you:

a. Keep the cash and say nothing?
b. Report the matter to the bank?
c. Give the balance to charity?
d. Something else?

Firstly, this doesn't happen very often, so don't get excited! This is often perceived as a “victimless crime”, similar to the ways in which employees view pilfering from their employer or falsifying expenses. This, and other issues to do with morality and internal crime are discussed in detail on the Security Management Stage 1 Course, which will be taking place next week, and later in the year, 8-19 August.
