âGood Thiefâ Leaves Apology for Burgled Charity'
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A Dutch thief left an apologetic letter and promised a donation after he realized he was burgling a charity that helps the poor and elderly. The thiefâs remorseful handwritten letter praised charity group Humanitas for its work and agonized over the effect the burglary would have on his conscience. "I have only eaten some biscuits from the tin and some Easter eggs. When Iâm less hard up I will make a small contribution to your account," said the account of the letter published on the Humanitas Web site (www.humanitas.nl). Humanitas said it has no plans to file a police report on the break-in at its office in Arnhem, near the German border. "Of course itâs a nuisance there was a burglary, but it leaves a good feeling that there are still good thieves," the Web site said.Posted by: Mark Espinola 2004-05-23 |
