Even though he had US$250 in his wallet, Richard Lewis Lu-dwig didn’t hesitate to charge US$40,64 on a stranger’s credit card that he found on Friday in a shopping centre’s parking lot, according to deputy sheriffs in Polk County, Florida.
Now, the 54-year-old Michi-gan dentist – who was in town to watch his son’s baseball ga-me – is facing charges of cre-dit-card theft, forgery and atte-mpting to use the ID of another person without consent, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Authorities say the card belonged to Harrun Majeed, an Army veteran and community college student who realised his credit card was missing after leaving the shopping centre.
Majeed reportedly called his credit card company and learned that someone had used his card to make a purchase at a restaurant in the complex.
The victim alerted authorities, who confronted Ludwig while he was waiting for his two large pies with extra olives.
Ludwig reportedly confessed he found the credit card on the ground, then laughed while telling deputies that he is “absolutely not” experiencing financial problems and, in fact, has a net worth of between US$3 million and US$4 million. – The Telegraph.
