SOUTH PORTLAND, USA, Apr 6 (Agency) : It's something we've all imagined at one time or another, going to an ATM and having the machine mistakenly spit out thousands of dollars. Never happens, right? Guess what? It did happen at a bank ATM in South Portland early Thursday morning.

This all started at one in the morning, when officers were called to a TD Bank branch on Maine Mall road. A transient was inside the bank sleeping beside the ATM. Officers went inside and moved him along. But, he came back.

At 5:30 in the morning, a woman waiting to use the ATM in this bank called police to report a man spending an unusual amount of time at the ATM. When South Portland police officers drove up, they saw this same homeless man inside filling a shopping bag with cash from the ATM. How much? It turns out it's more than $37,000 in cash.

Police detained the homeless man, later Bank's spokesperson clarified that "Due to a code error, this TD Bank ATM dispensed an incorrect amount of cash to a customer." He says no customer accounts were impacted by this $37,000 mistake.
