Back in 2003 I was a store owner in the Rushmoore Mall in South Dakota. An employee at the time had taken some money from the store. After pressing charges she was sentenced, and I was awarded restitution. I was told at the time that it could take awhile before I would see any of the money.in 2006 I was contatced by the victim assistance program, and started receiving small checks once a month. Then they stopped after about a year. I called and was told she was incarcerated again so I wouldnt see anything for awhile.
In January I called and got the same answer. Now a week ago I called again and found out there is a small balance remaining. I asked how that could be because I hadnt received anything in over 4 years. They said they had been sending money on a regular basis. I asked where they had been sending it and they told me to an address I hadnt ever lived at. To a person I dont even know. So basically they sent all my money that was owed to me to a different person. I asked how this could happen, and was told that it had to go through the states attorneys office. So Ive been calling every day trying to figure out how this could happen, and nobody returns calls. They know they messed up, but wont fix it...
