So I'm pretty sure I managed to set off the alarm at my local Commbank today.
I'll start off by saying I work in retail, and on Friday someone either left their card or handed one in to my store. Usually when this happens, someone will call up to ask or come back looking for it. As of today this still hadn't happened, so I thought the right thing to do was to drop it in to the bank that the card belongs to? as I have done before. When my shift finished today, I took the card with me to drop it in to the bank (thinking they closed at 5pm not 4pm), so when I got there they were closed. However, in the front part of the bank they have the ATM's. As I was in there, just as I turned around after noticing it was shut, their alarm went off. Now I can only think that this is because the card must have been reported as lost or stolen? Naturally I then searched a contact number for commonwealth bank to say a card was handed in. The service rep attempted to contact the owner to no avail so then cancelled the card, and I have cut it up. Now the bit that bums me out is that the service rep couldn't tell me why the alarm went off as the cards status is private information. So I am now thinking that I will have to go back to the bank to say I was trying to hand it in and didn't steal it? Has this happened to anyone else here, and if so what's the go?

I'd forget it... You're already done more than most people would.. And haven't broken any laws.

In the future I think I'll just be calling the bank instead.

Also there's no sensors or anything that a lost/stolen card would trigger and even so they wouldn't set the alarm for the bank off! In the banks eyes - if someone reports a card missing, they cancel it and that's that. The alarm was probably an employee leaving for the evening who set the alarm but didn't get out in time or left an alarmed internal door open when they tried to set the alarm. I wouldn't sweat at all mate.

I'll just take it as being a coincidence.Would have been about 4.30 when I was there and 30min after closing sounds about right for staff to be leaving. Cheers for the responses.

How exactly do you think this alarm went off? Do you think the bank somehow had sensors that read missing the card in your pocket?
Not a chance. I think the alarm going off and you being there with the card was a total coincidence. Next time, perhaps just pop the card in an envelope and write on it that it was found. Slide it under the door. That way you are doing your bit and there is nothing to lead back to you. You did more than you had to - and more than most would have. A mate lost his wallet and it was handed in to the local cop shop intact. 4 days later they decided to chase him up. By then he had cancelled everything... Same thing happened to my wife... left her purse on the church pew and she needed to put 2 and 2 together to work out it was there after 3 days and she made contact with the Padre. When she questioned why he didn't take it upon himself to contact her (they were well known to each other and had each others phone numbers) he just assumed she knew it was there and she would eventually come get it... Some people.....
