If I had the boxes to return.”“Yes i took my birth certificate, passport, and spectrum cable box.”Spencer Pratt posted this note on Instagram.In a subsequent post, Mr. Pratt posted a video standing on the rubble of his former home in the Pacific Palisades clutching the burnt remains of his cable box.“Good news Spectrum! I’m pretty sure this is the box you guys still asked if I still had,” he said. “I found it!”After his posts started circulating online, Mr. Pratt says he was contacted by a social media manager at Spectrum slide into his DMs and said that the fee was being waived because they were not issuing penalty fees for boxes lost in the wildfires.Spencer Pratt, Ryker Pratt, Gunner Pratt, and Heidi Montag attend Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, The Greatest Show On Earth VIP Event at Crypto.com Arena on August 24, 2024 at Los Angeles, California.
