A Real Nice Surprise

Remember when our house on Forbes got broken into? I got a check in the mail today from the County of Kalamazoo Finance Department/9th Circuit Court Restitution. Apparently that black/french/top-hat wearing breaking-and-enterer hasn't completely fulfilled his debt to society. I've hunted all over the web (OTIS and different K-zoo websites) to try to find records on the guy (his name is listed in the description field) but haven't found anything. The check is for $81.25.

I wonder if Jackie got one today. I know bol didn't. Only Jackie and I got checks at school. Sometimes they were for $25; other times for $7 or so. I guess it depended on how many shifts he worked at Wendy's.

Anyhoo, more than ten years later I get a check for $81.25. WTF? (and doesn't anyone like our new puppy? WTF?)

I remember getting a few of his wendy's checks in the mail. Then throwing them in the garbage.

I never got any checks from him, but half of my CD collection did not end up in the used rack at Repeat the Beat either.

you wouldn't have thrown them away. that money probably went towards tater-tots.

and only the crappy half ended up at Repeat the Beat.

my new puppy will eat your face off.

I think you cashed those checks to buy pita bread for your mini pizzas.

Ryan Rosenthal, that was his name.

Ryan is a white guy... Not the black guy you're talking about.

I've seen the black guy you're talking about. He was still around Kalamazoo as of last winter. I saw him wandering around Meijer on Westnedge.
