An
elderly man recently left an envelope with $100 in it on a Sears
service counter in Seattle with a note that said he’d stolen money from a
Sears store in the late 1940s. Not only did he pay back the amount he
took, he included interest. The man hand-delivered the envelope and was
spotted on the store’s security cameras. His identity is unknown,
however, and Sears will not show the footage. “The note read: “During
the late [forties] I stole some money from the cash register in the
amount of $20-$30 ... I want to pay you back this money in the amount of
$100 to put in your theft account.” “I think his conscience has been
bothering him for the past 60 years,” said Sears manager Gary Lorentson.
In a gesture of continued goodwill, Sears will put the money toward
helping needy families during the holiday season.
