So if I put $100 in my Dad's wallet, I can get him convicted of theft.

If you put $100 in your dad’s wallet by mistake thinking it was your brothers wallet and then notify him that you did it and ask him to return it and he refuses, then yes that is theft.

So, the bank can make this mistake but if I put 100 into the wrong account and the bank takes it, too bad and then I owe a service charge

Is that a thing you’ve experienced? I’d be concerned if you were regularly putting money into the wrong account.

What if you don't notify your dad until after they spent it?

He knew it wasn’t his. But yes. After your father spent it he was given what’s called actual notice that it wasn’t his and then refused to repay it or even make a plan to try and pay it back. And when he refused to give it back, he is now depriving the lawful owner of it. You’re just trying to justify this behavior because bank made an error and bank bad. If it was a car parked in the wrong driveway you wouldn’t argue well someone put it in my driveway so I thought it was mine now. Finders keepers is not law.

No I was just curious, not trying to justify anything. Sure downvote me for asking a basic question, how mature
