He and his wife returned home a short time later and heard the doorbell ring.
The man answered the door to Smith, who reminded him that he had helped him at the Post Office earlier and asked if he could borrow a pen and paper.
He let Smith inside, fetched him a pen and paper and Smith quickly left. The couple later realised the cash that had been withdrawn at the Post Office was missing from the house.
Smith, of Romany Lane, Kessingland, Lowestoft, was sentenced at Derby Crown Court on Monday, March 4.
