So, what would you do if $30,000 was erroneously put into your checking account?

I'm hoping you would report it to your bank.

However, if you'd decide to keep it, here's what you could expect.

An 18-year-old in Georgia had this exact scenario happen to him. A 70-year-old man deposited more than $30,000 into his checking account after he sold some land. The bank teller mistakenly deposited it into the 18-year-old's account, Atlanta's WGCL-TV reported.

The teenager noticed the large bump in his account, and decided he would buy a BMW and a few other things.

Not only did the bank teller lose her job when the error was discovered, but the teen got 10 years probation and has been ordered to pay ALL the money back.

So what would YOU do if you found that much money in your account?
