A burglar in New Hampshire was caught red-handed with his loot.
He said sorry and put down the jewelry boxes and electronic items and walked away, refusing to be detained with some engaging conversations with the home-owner.
A Burglar who broke into a home with his accomplices and made away with jewellery and mementos of a young woman who had died in a car crash, felt contrite.
He came back the next day to return the personal journal and all the items that had belonged to the young woman.
He was caught on CCTV, but I don't know what happened to him.
Dale Alon Barton, 51, should have been tired of burgling.
When he loaded his stash from a home in Damascas onto a pickup truck, he should have been wondering what he was doing there.
The homeowner, a woman, caught him, and Barton wept, and apologised.
Acting on her advice to go to church and get his life together, he went to her church and returned the jewelry he had taken away. He got introduced to her pastor. I don't know whether he knew what he was letting himself in for.
Last heard of, he was due for arraignment.
"Sorry for taking this stuff- very, very drunk and stupid," said the burglar as he returned the computer games and DVDs he had hauled away from a home at Norwich.
The police are searching for this man, "The burglar also took some food from the fridge- but that wasn't returned," a spokesman is reported to have said.
In Montreal, an old man visited the Central Police Office and startled the Sergeant on duty by confessing that he had been a burglar in the past, and now that he has repented, he should be arrested and punished.
The man was told to give himself up to the High Constable at the Police Court.
The New York Times reports on what happened next:
"The poor old fellow walked slowly over to the Court House, glanced apprehensively into its gloomy interior, heaved a sigh, shrugged his shoulders, and walked away in the opposite direction."
Whether the police gave him a chase or not I don't know, for this was in 26.6.1892.
These guys represent the good points of burglary. They are a role-model to many, many Indians.
ReplyDeletePolitician to people:
Eh...sorry, I stole your country. Very very drunk and upset stomach. Not good match.
Err... will they return what they stole?
ReplyDeleteBetter kept in Switzerland, I think.
Those burglars had heart to disown loot.
ReplyDeleteThe politicians disown heart to loot.
