A Pennsylvania tool-supply company says somebody mailed a $45 cheque to pay for a hammer stolen decades ago.
Lynne Gramling, President of Central Contractors’ Supply Co., tells the Johnstown Tribune Democrat that the cheque arrived earlier this month.
It included an anonymous letter that sys the writer stole a hammer 25 to 30 years ago. It reads, “Enclosed is $45 to cover the hammer plus a little extra for interest. I’m sorry I stole it, but have changed my ways.”
Gramling is donating the money to the Salvation Army.
As for the cheque, she wants the sender to know: “It was a gift from the heart and I appreciated it.”
