When a Bensalem man found an extra $69,000 or so in his bank account, he did what many rational people would do with the money: He bought some shit. It’s like that age-old question of what would you do if you found a briefcase full of money, except it’s totally traceable and spending the money is totally illegal.

According to Philly.com, by the time the bank noticed the accounting error, 22-year-old Joseph Bucci had already spent about $67,000 of the misplaced money on, “food, clothing, furniture, a vehicle, airline tickets and a pet dog.” It’s like the dude thought it was Brewster’s Millions or some shit. But he learned the hard way: It’s all fun and games until you’re arrested on third-degree felonies. Dude just wanted a puppy.
