Charity mistake !!!!!

OMG- what would you do
(Im allright cos I'll never have that much money)

Take a read and see......


Man's £1,400 Charity 'Donation' Mistake


A charity shop is refusing to hand back a man £1,400 he accidentally left in a top.

Michael Parks, 49, left the money in an old zip-up sweatshirt he donated to Age Concern. But the repairman has now been told the "donation" was banked, according to The Sun.


Mr Parks said he was "gutted" and would consult his solicitor.

A spokeswoman for the charity shop in Macclesfield, Cheshire, claimed: "Once money is given to the charity then it is legally a donation."

Poor man...if he genuinly made a mistake, then you would think they would give him the money back......

Not just that it is not good publicity for the charity not to give something back that was handed in for charity in error......

My friend told me about this this morning.

I must remember to check pockets next time I give any clothes to charity. I think I'd be suicidal if I did something like that
