An informational sign should be placed to reduce errors leading to money leakage, and money should be returned to anyone who claims a leakage and whose claim is likely to be true. As for the remaining money, it belongs to others and should be given as charity on their behalf since it cannot be returned to them. It is advisable to inform customers about donating any leaked money if it is not reclaimed by them.
