$1,800 ATM Mistake [VIDEO]: Delaware Student Devon Gluck Takes 'Free Cash' Home, Returns Hefty Amount to PNC Bank Days Later for 'Good Karma'

It looks like University of Delaware student Devon Gluck recently executed his good deed not of the day, but of the year. According to reports, Gluck mistakenly received a whopping $1,800 from a broken PNC Bank on-campus ATM machine back in February. Instead of splurging, Gluck decided to take the "free cash" home to ultimately determine what he should do with it. After an intense "angel vs. devil" dispute, Gluck decided to take the honesty route and eventually returned the money. A PNC Bank manager "thanked" Gluck for his good deed, and the $1,800 was finally returned to the account of its rightful owner.

According to the Associated Press, Gluck noticed that the on-campus ATM machine that he typically used to make deposits and withdrawals was making weird noise when he approached it last month. He decided to go through with his transaction anyway, when all-of-a-sudden 18 $100 bills shot out at him. He quickly gathered up the cash and took it home with him. Although pressured by his best friend to go out and have a wild time, Gluck talked it over with his father, and he ultimately decided that the only right thing to do would be to return the hefty amount of free money back to the bank.

 "My eyes just opened really wide, and I was like, 'Oh my god, this is $1,800 right here,' " Gluck told the Delaware Online. "It's pretty crazy... [But] after a couple days of just thinking about it, the right thing would be just to return the money," he said. "I mean, it was just eating at me at the time because it isn't mine and I didn't even know what to do with it."

After a bank manager graciously thanked Gluck for his honest deed, a PNC spokeswoman released a statement claiming that the missing money was properly refunded to the student that it rightfully belonged to.

"Honesty is always the best policy when talking about money, and keeping money that you're not authorized to have for any amount of time is unlawful," the spokeswoman said.

Gluck hopes that his good deed will ultimately result in some positive karma: "I kind of just thought maybe I can get something good out of this," he said. "I'll definitely feel better, and I'm looking into going into banking and finance, so I felt like this was a good opportunity to meet someone, get a good reference and do the right thing."

So how about it, Mstarz readers - would you return $1,800 of free ATM cash?
