Funny Money

So I got a nice surprise for Labor Day: some bozo got my debit card number and went to town at Target (apparently I can't attract the better class of identity thief) over the weekend.  I got to split most of today between the sheriff's office and the credit union, which is where I got my second fiscal shocker in as many days:

ME: (reluctantly) Um...is this balance right?  It looks a little...well, higher than it should.

CLERK: Who knows, maybe whoever did this put some money in while they were at it.

[cue laugh track]

Not the case, sadly enough, but the truth was nearly as strange.  It turns out the Air Force hasn't paid me a clothing allowance in something like four years.  Somebody somewhere realized it, added up the totals and dumped a couple thousand dollars of back pay into my account without so much as a by-the-way.

Uh...OK.  Thanks, guys.

Truth be told, I'm not sure who the bigger goof is here - them for letting it go on so long, or me for the same reason.
