A 55-year-old man is suing a local church because it won't give back a $126,000 donation he gave during a deep depression five years ago.
Marcel Mager, of Cloquet, said he made the anonymous donation during a time of emotional distress and thought giving the church money would ease his pain. His wife had left him two weeks prior to the January 1999 donation. It was nearly their entire life savings.

After five months of antidepressants and counseling, Mager said he asked for the money back. But leaders at the Cloquet Gospel Tabernacle church said no. They had already used the money for new family ministry space.

Mager told the head pastor, the Rev. Richard Doebler, he was not of sound mind when he made the donation.

This guy wants his money back, too:

Curtis Smith Sr. carried a rare $1,000 bill in his pocket for two decades, never planning to part with it. But these days, the retired truck driver is spending his time trying to get the bill back from the St. Louis suburb of Pine Lawn.
Police seized the bill during a traffic stop and gave Smith a check in return. Mayor Adrian Wright considers the rare bill a novelty and has it tucked away in his City Hall safe, leaving Smith scrambling to get back the prized bill, which has a collector's value of more than its face value.

Anonymous? Hey, That was me!

Can they trace the payment in any way? Money order? It couldn't have been cash?

The $1000.00 bill incident concerns me more than the church donation.This guy was sleeping on his own property!!In his own..Parked vehicle..& was a arrested for drunk driving..though he wasn't driving!!No warrant!!The police were treaspassing & they intentionally stole a valuable collectors item that the Mayor himself keeps in his personal safe!!!!Now that's a corrupt system!!Something needs to be done.

And the point of this thread is? Sounds like more of a topic for the religion forum.

They should probably be fined on top of this for spreading idiocy around.
