Twenty years ago, United States resident Caron McBride borrowed a videotape of Sabrina, the Little Witch from a rental shop.
“At that time, I lived with a man who had two daughters,” the woman says. – They really wanted to see this film. I went to the rental shop, took the videotape and, frankly, forgot about it. They watched the film, and the cassette should have been returned, but why I didn’t do that, I don’t remember anymore.
And now, 20 years later, when it was time for Caron to change her driver's license, she was informed that her name was listed in the database of dangerous criminals and was wanted for “misappropriation of rented property.”
– It just doesn't fit in my head, – the woman is indignant. – It turns out that because of the videotape that was not returned on time, they wanted me all over the country for twenty years! But I don't even remember where this videotape is!
At first, Caron McBride generally thought that someone had played a cruel joke with her, but then she nevertheless turned to the prosecutor's office, where she explained the whole essence of the case.
– I never tried to deceive anyone, – Caron justifies, fearing that all this could ruin her biography. – I'm scared to think what would happen if the information that I was on the wanted list reached my employers. After all, I could have been fired without explanation …
Together with the lawyer, the woman made a statement, told the whole story and assured that she had no malicious intent. As a result, the prosecutor's office closed the case and “cleaned up” Caron McBride's biography in all official databases.
