If the customer’s new address is known, the company sends a letter to him, requesting the re turn of the cable box. If the new address is not known, Midwest will try to find the person and bring charges against him, Jaku bik said. “We’re following... our infor mation sheets that these old cus tomers filled out, but I don’t think we can get all of them — especially those who have moved out of State,” Jakubik said. If the boxes are brought in voluntarily, Jakubik said no charges will be filed. “We’re losing too much money right now, and if we don’t start getting some of our boxes back somehow then we will have to raise our prices on our loyal customers, which I don’t want to see happen,” Jaku bik said.
