The Home Depot
$100,000 Reward Refused After My Tips Led to Suspect's Capture

There was a death at one of their stores. One of their employees was killed during a robbery. The Home Depot offered a reward of 100,000 dollars for anyone who would give information to help with the capture of the suspect. It was listed in the local paper to call the local sheriff's department or Crime Stoppers. So I called the sheriff's department and told them what I knew. After about a week of them calling me every day for more information, they were able to catch the suspect with my tips.

Now the fun starts. After one year of talking to everyone in the company, I was finally able to find who was in charge, and he is telling me that since I did not report it through Crime Stoppers, I was not eligible for the reward. The papers (which I have proof of) state that you could call either one. This seems like the old bait and switch scam. They put the reward out, and after you help them catch the guy, they do not want to pay. I have proof of everything I am saying, including the detective with whom I worked. It is surprising to me that Home Depot would do such a thing.
