I get this message on my wash phone:
"I put a soggy and very wrinkly $5 bill in your changer and your changer cut it in half. I got half the bill back and your changer has the other half. Tell you what-- just mail me $2.50 and I'll call it even."
I go to the wash, find the rear changer disabled, and take it apart. There I find part of a $5 bill but nowhere near half of it. So I call him back, and leave a message that he should take the bigger half of the $5 to a bank where they will exchange it for a regular $5. I'm told that as long as you have more than 50% of the bill they will do this.
Final update: he calls back and leaves another message: "Please mail my part of the $5 bill back. It's my property. I'll tape it to the other part and be able to use the $5 again."
Moral: you never know who, or what, is coming next!
