i contacted the person from my work where he left the card and told him if he came in he would be repaid in full. he did not show up. what is my next step? i made an appointment with a lawyer for tomorrow but ive never done anything like this and its eating me up. should i go to the police? send the money and card annonymously? can i make amends without involving the police? if he signed a reciept of payment and signed he no longer wished to press charges would that clear me? please help this illinois man.
