FOND DU LAC, Wis., Nov. 19 (UPI) -- A former carwash worker in Fond du Lac, Wis., was charged with stealing more than 71 pounds of quarters from the business' cash machines.
Scott Schmitz was charged with burglary, theft, criminal damage to property and bail jumping after he allegedly broke into Buggy Bath Car Wash on Nov. 2 and stole $1,400 worth of quarters and $1,000 in bills from cash machines on the premises, the Fon du Lac Reporter said Monday.
A Fond du Lac police report said Schmitz, a former Buggy Bath employee, was angry with the carwash's owner and had previously spoken about getting back at him.
Police said they found two containers filled with more than $100 in quarters, multiple clear plastic bags, twist ties and a broken lock during searches of Schmitz's home and car.
The police report said Schmitz was seen in the week after the burglary purchasing items using only quarters and bought a new car, the Reporter said.
