In some kind of strange coincidence I read about this exact story last night on Quora [1]. Perhaps someone else did too :) Anyway this is a fantastic story of a man gaming the system. In the Quora thread I've linked to there are some other fantastic examples. Particularly the ATM bug! I'd heard of that one before but just in case you hadn't... Cash points have a feature whereby if you don't take the dispensed cash within a time limit, they take the money back, and re-credit your account. However some affected ATMs did not count the cash on the way back in. Now the exploit should be obvious - take the majority of the cash carefully and allow the ATM to swallow the rest. The cash you've taken is yours and the money you were supposed to get goes back into your account. No doubt it would be easy to track down customer's who had been involved in this exploit, but it's a fun story nevertheless.
