[GNC] Entry of unknown transaction

[David Carlson]

I have occasionally found a stray deposit receipt near an ATM when I was
withdrawing cash.  If I carelessly pocketed it with my receipt, I might get
a surprise later. The stray would have a different account number on it.
Could this be what happened to you?
