  1. Our client informed us that on the night he was arrested, he was eating dinner at the New Canaan Diner. He was seated at the counter, and when he was finished eating he left a $50 bill on the counter and got up to leave. As he was walking out he realized he left a $50 bill instead of the $20 bill he meant to leave. He returned to the counter just as the busboy was picking up the $50.Our client asked to have it back; the busboy said "no."
