## Resource

A Leeds couple stumbled into a wild windfall—nearly $7,000 accidentally wired to their account by Yorkshire Water over two months. The bank couldn’t stop it, and the company’s customer service shrugged and told them to “enjoy the cash.” Turns out, an employee had mistakenly rerouted their own wages to the couple’s account. Once discovered, Yorkshire Water reclaimed the money and handed them $100 as a “thank you” for their honesty. The bank also faced criticism for not acting sooner—since spending or keeping mistaken funds can be illegal. A lucky break? Maybe. But the lesson? Always report unexpected cash, no matter how tempting it looks. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
