A person who claims to have stolen $800 from a Barry County, Michigan store about 30 years ago has repaid the money in cash — with interest.

The story began with a hard copy letter that arrived in NBC affiliate News 8’s newsroomMonday morning. It bore no signature and no return address. "I'm asking for help in locating a man that I owe the money," an anonymous person wrote in the letter.

In the letter addressed to the “Chanel 8 News and Sheriff,” the writer admitted to breaking into what was then the Middle Mart on M-37 just north of Middleville, Mich., about 30 years ago.

The self-proclaimed burglar didn't specify motive, only admitting to stealing cash from the store.
