  Speaker 1: It's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. And you've heard
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of private detectives or investigators trying to track people down
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: from an incident that happened decades ago. Yeah, and in
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: some cases the reason why people are looking for them
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: is that they could owe a lot of money. But
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: in today's call, it's actually the opposite. We've spent years
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: trying to track down a guy so we could pay
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: him money. Well, wouldn't that be a nice surprise? And
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: not a lot of money either, it's all thanks to
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: a purchase he probably doesn't even remember. We'll hear how
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: he reacts in your phone tap right.

  Speaker 2: Who are you?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Sorry? Yeah, I'm with Blowco.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Lowco. What's that it's.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: A power tool company. We're based in the Midwest, and
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: your name was flagged for a pending rebate claim from
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: two thousand and five for a leaf blower.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: You're calling me decades later about a leaf blower I
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: bought in two thousand and five.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I I apologize that. I know it's a
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: little bit behind, but I've been working on your case
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: trying to get the money back to you since I
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: don't know twenty thirteen.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I have a case number you do.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, you're a hard guy to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: track down. Looks like you moved.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I've lived.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: I've lived like a dozen different places since then.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know, I see that. It looks like
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you're at Missouri at one point. Then you went to
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Colorado and uh, that's where the trail went cold. I
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: kind of lost track of you.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: My god. Yeah, I'm kidding me.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not. But I was able to talk to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: a guy who worked with you at his family insurance,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: guy named Scott. You talked to Scott, right, He gave
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: me your email. What anyway, it's a long story. I'm
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: just thankful I got you.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: That is a lot of effort for a rebate from
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: a leaf blower. Oh yeah, how much money could we
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: possibly be talking about?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Eleven dollars and thirty eight cents?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: What?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: But with interest, it's now twelve dollars and six cents.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, that's money right into your pocket.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: You're gonna get me twelve dollars and three cents for
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: something about twenty years ago.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Twelve dollars and six cents, right, I know, I know
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: it's a lot, so it's probably hard to like wrap
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: your mind around.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: It's big bucks. Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do with it.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Good. I'm happy to be the bearer of good news.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: So let's just get you verified here. First of all,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: do you still have the original box and receipt?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: No? Okay, I can't even picture this leaf floor or
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: whatever it is.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Can you just like maybe look around? Maybe look around,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: because we prefer that they be mailed in laminated.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: You want me to laminate the box that my leaf
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: flour came in in two thousand and five, in the
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: receipt patrol, in the receipt control dollars.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand. It's not ideal.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Well, it's not ideal. It's impossible. I mean, I don't
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: have that. I wouldn't even book.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: That's a cup of coffee, you know what I mean.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I've worked so hard just trying to track you down
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: over the last like ten years I've worked here. I'm
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: just gonna check you off and say it's okay, Oh
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: we're fine.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Great, Well that's yeah, okay, thank you.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no problem. That stuff is done. But do you
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: know if the leaf blower was primarily used for leaves
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: or maybe some recreational airflow?
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Recreational airflow, what would that be?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't believe some of the things people use this
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: device for.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I'm trying to picture it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I could send you picks of what people I will
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: pass on that.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, are we done? Are we? Are we there? Well?
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Almost almost there. I just need to ask you if
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: you agree to accept the rebate in store credit from
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: radio Shack, then we'll double it. Would you be.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Interested store credit from radio Shack? Does? Does that store exist?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Not on this continent? I don't believe, But okay, well
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you could get some value down in South America.

• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I'll take cash.
• 4:35

• 4:47
  Speaker 1: can approve you. Oh god, that was just terrible.
• 4:57
