About a decade ago (or more) I knew a chap who had worked for a bank in Gran Canaria. He resigned, in order to leave for the mainland, but to his surprise his salary kept being deposited in his account. Rather than report this, he spent the next year "on holiday" at full pay, until eventually someone realised and the money stopped appearing. He said he felt a bit aggrieved by this - as though he was entitled to it. There was no follow up action by the bank. I expect that it is a bit embarrassing for a bank to make such a mistake and so they just decided to sweep it under the rug.
