Andy Rooney gets a refund

Did anyone see humorist Andy Rooney's bit on 60 Minutes tonight? His bank keeps sending him a 12K check by mistake. He speculated on whether to cash it. He didn't speculate on why there was this screw-up

hoho,

I think he explained pretty well how it happened. His credit card number was stolen, the CC company credited his account for the amount charged by the theives, the bank mistook this credit as an actual overpayment and sent him a check. Nothing Y2K related with this screwup...
