All in the family A Toledo man reported to police August 11 that his brother had robbed him. The report said the victim had borrowed $42,000 from his boss to start his own roofing company, then “put all $42,000 into white envelopes containing $1,000 each.” He then put the money in a duffle bag and called his brother for a ride downtown so he could deposit the money in a bank.
