A Kansas County has an extra $75 in its coffers thanks to a former thief with a guilty conscious.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that someone anonymously sent the money to Shawnee County along with a letter dated December 18th.
The letter states that the sender is in a 12-step program and working to make financial amends. It states that many years ago the writer stole a receptacle meant for cigarette ashes that was in front of the courthouse.
County Commission Chairman Bill Riphahn says the letter was accompanied by three $20 bills, one $10 bill and one $5 bill.
