I merely wanted to give this person an opportunity to get his card back without involving the bank mainly so he did not face the shame of losing the card. So he would not lose face in other words. Some other people had had the same idea by just leaving the card at the ATM. I thought this would work UNLESS someone dishonest saw the card there at the ATM and wanted to use it.

I see that this man BK is 90 years old and probably is in some of medical unit in Lady Lake so maybe contacting the bank would have been a good idea. AGAIN though this is OUT of my hands. The card is with the Lynnhaven Postal Center people. I deposited it the evening of 10/15/2014. Or, probably the card is already with the bank so this is all MOOT.
