$10 million deposited into your account, what would you do?

A New Zealand couple have gone to ground after $10 million (NZD I presume) appeared in their bank account. [i]"The couple, who ran Rotorua service station BP Barnetts, are understood to have applied to Westpac Bank for a $10,000 overdraft and mistakenly had $10 million paid into their account."[/i] [url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/2428243/Couple-missing-after-10m-bank-bungle]Read the full article here[/url] It seems like they ran off with as much as they could (some money has been retrieved). How likely are they to get caught? If a[i] [/i]big chunk of money mistakenly appeared in your bank account overnight, what would you (or "someone else") do?
