Broker Comment
ON MAY 18, 1994, I EXERCISED POOR JUDGMENT WHEN I TOOK FROM AN EMPLOYEE OF KIMCO A FUR COAT AND WATCH UNAWARE AT THE TIME THERE WAS $40.00 IN THE POCKET OF THE COAT, WHICH
IS WHY I INITIALLY WROTE "FUNDS" WHEN DESCRIBING THE SITUTATION IN THE FIRST U-4 STATMENT. THE $40.00 WAS NOT MENTIONED IN THE POLICE REPORT, THEREFORE WAS CHARGED ONLY WITH THEFT FOR THE COAT AND WATCH (PERSONAL PROPERTY). I'VE FULFILLED MY OBLIGATION TO THE COUNTY AND SERVED MY SENTENCE OF COMMUNITY SERVICE. IN ADDITION, I'VE SUCCESSFULLY PAID RESTITUTION TO THE VICTIM. I'VE SINCE ADDRESSED THE SITUATION APPROPRIATELY IN HOPES OF LEARNING FROM THIS MISTAKE.
