Burglar returns loot and apologizes

In Queenstown, New Zealand, a burglar returned to the scene of his crime on the same day and took back the goods he have stolen earlier along with a heartfelt apology note.

Along with those goods, he had bought with a credit card he had taken from the home of Graeme Glass who was at work in the southern resort of Queenstown, New Zealand, at the time.

Apparently, the burglar had smashed a window to gain entry and made off with a notebook computer, a camera, and Glass’s wallet including the American Express credit card.

However, the thief returned the goods later in the day, along with a new basketball and two pairs of gloves bought on the stolen credit card.

The family later discovered the loot piled on their kitchen table with a neat, handwritten full-page note from the burglar saying he was sorry for “violating the safety and security of your home”.

The robber also promised to leave cash in Glass’ mailbox to pay for the smashed window when he had enough money.

The note said: “I have never written truer words when I say that I wish that I had never done this to you and your family.

“From the bottom of my heart I am sorry.”

Queenstown police said they have a description of the thief from staff in the stores where the credit card was used.

What a wierd robber indeed. What could have caused him to take the goods, credit card and things bought with it back to the scene of crime? Guilty Conscience, perhaps. Haha.
