USA:
A 52 year old Milwaukee resident has been charged with attempting
to defraud a restaurant, according to a report we have seen
on sun-sentinel.com.
The charge could result in a 9 month prison sentence, or
a $10,000 fine.
The
man, who we will not name, apparently tried to avoid paying
a cab fare first, and then a couple of weeks later a restaurant
bill, by faking a heart attack.
He
must have been a good actor because he was taken to hospital
both times.
He
got away with the cab fare.
He
was arrested after his heart attack at the restaurant (he
tried to avoid paying $23 for a steak meal at Appleby's)
when a
doctor at the hospital remembered him...
We
will be keeping an eye out for dumb recession money saving
tips in the internet news sources...
