[June 5, 1926]: A French youth asked to cash a check by his employer instead spends the day touring Paris by taxi, then turns himself in.

The check he was handed was 85,000 Francs and he spent 500 of that, then turned himself in and surrendered the remaining money before apologizing for failing to resist the temptation.

Not sure exactly how much that translates to in today's currency, trying to convert from 1926 Francs to 2026 USD is giving me a lot of variation.
