SEATTLE – 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.
Manager Gary Lorentson says he thinks the man's conscience "has been bothering him for the past 60 years."Store security cameras recorded the man, but Sears officials said they don't know who he is and they won't release the video.
The store plans to put the money toward helping needy families in the holiday season.
How about YOU? Have you ever done something that bothered you so much that you had to make it right? How much time went by before you settled your debt?
HealthyLiving: This does not have to be a monetary debt. Misjudging someone, saying false things about a friend, lashing out at someone, being rude, etc.

It's called Making Amends!
If one wants to have some Peace of Mind,they better do it!
Certainly won't go into details, but I owed an apology to someone I dated about 10-11 years ago. Initially, I drove by and thought about stopping, but not knowing her situation, I decided to write her a note w/a heart felt apology.
Whether she accepted it or not, I don't know...never got a response. However, I felt better.

HealthyLiving , honestly answer your question, "How's Your Conscience?", This is like a spotted cow, after taking a big bath of mud and straw!
On the flip side, a guy I was in a relationship with for four years chose to tell me, after we had already split up, that he had been having an affair for the last two years of that relationship?!
Might have made him feel better but it didn't do anything for me, I would have preferred not to know
