Elderly man returns cash stolen from Sears in '40s

SEATTLE (AP) — The manager of the Sears store in downtown Seattle says an elderly man has repaid — with interest — cash the man says he stole in the late 1940s.

KING-TV reports that the man hand-delivered an envelope Monday addressed to "Sears manager." Inside were a note and a $100 bill.

The note said the man stole $20 to $30 from a cash register decades ago and wanted to pay back $100.

I guess he didn't want to pay inflation!

I think that's awesome. He probably felt guilty his whole life.

Awesome that he paid it back?
Or awesome that he felt guilty his whole life?

That will mess with accounting and balancing for the day, so Sears donated the money to charity....nice ending...

I have never been to Seattle, and I don't want to go back!
