Did I just get $380 in free money?
So on friday I deposit my check.
The amount (because I was sick as hell, missed 7 days, and took a $900 draw) was $587.53.
I deposited that amount minus $380 so I could pay the rent when I got home and get a haircut and what not.
I look at my bank account today, and my deposit amount is $587.53, when it should be $207.53 because of the $380 cash I kept.
Did I just get free money? Think Wells Fargo will fix the error? Is there a time limit on this sort of thing to where it just becomes mine?

I bet they wont even notice
Dont you have to sign a slip for record of the transaction? Remember the ammount for deposit that was on that slip? If that said 583XX then youre set, but if it said 2XX and the rest was cash then they would probably catch it

i filled out the slip myself.
i remember writing 207.xx in the deposit amount. I am sure its a teller error. And yes I signed the slip.
If they notice it, do you think the error will be fixed in a timely manner. I don't want that money still sitting there in a month wondering if they're gonna take it.

One time the electric company forgot to cash a check I wrote to them. That was a free ~$150. I still wonder if they are just going to decide to cash it one day.

Nice. It's been at least 4 months. 
The only thing I did different was I sent it in the mail directly to the company instead of dropping it off at the local office. I haven't sent one in the mail since then because I didn't want them to find out and cash the last one.
