Julia Yonkowski of Largo, Florida, only needed a $20 bill when she visited the ATM at Chase Bank on June 19, but she decided to check her balance while she was there.

What she saw on the paper slip surprised her: a balance of $995,985,856.

"I was horrified," she told WFLA-TV.

"I know most people would think they won the lottery, but I was horrified."

She's tried several times to contact Chase, but she can't get through to anyone. "I get tied up with their automated system and I can't get a person," she said. "I don't know what to think." [WFLA-TV, 6/21/2021]

As 34-year-old Paul Kiyan let himself into the home of Mat and Monica Sabz in Bel Air, California, on June 20, Monica watched on Ring video and alerted her husband, who was at home.

Kiyan was naked, KTLA-TV reported, and as he wandered around the house, he helped himself to a shower and a pair of shorts.

When Mat Sabz confronted him, Kiyan said the house was his.

While he was there, Kiyan killed the couple's two pet birds with his hands; police arrested him on several felony charges. [KTLA, 6/21/2021]
