The manager of the Sears store in downtown Seattle says an elderly man has repaid \u2014 with interest \u2014 cash the man says he stole in the late 1940s.<\/p>\n
KING-TV reports that the man hand-delivered an envelope Monday addressed to “Sears manager.” Inside were a note and a $100 bill.<\/p>\n
The note said the man stole $20 to $30 from a cash register decades ago and wanted to pay back $100.<\/p>\n
Manager Gary Lorentson says he thinks the man’s conscience “has been bothering him for the past 60 years.”<\/p>\n
Store security cameras recorded the man, but Sears officials said they don’t know who he is and they won’t release the video.<\/p>\n
The store plans to put the money toward helping needy families in the holiday season. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
