If you're going to steal money*, you had better either make the amount insignificant (i.e. a few pennies) or so astronomically huge that nobody would believe you if you told them you took it. The US $10,000 that this family found in a box of crackers was not small enough for them to take without looking for an owner, and it wasn't big enough to tempt them into being dishonest about it. This guy, however, was able to get away £100 billion because the idea of him being able to overdraft by that much seemed ridiculous.
* Our lawyers wanted us to make it clear that we do not advocate the stealing of money, and that if you do so you do it without the blessing of the GNU Public Dictatorship.
