When someone steals something from you, whether it’s valuable or not, it’s completely natural to feel angry, but one thief has managed to turn things around and win sympathy for his crime. Singer Steve Valentine said his friend had received an email from a thief who had stolen the laptop containing his university course work.
Apologising for the theft, the thief said he was poor and needed money but offered to send on any files the student might need for their course work. Stevie’s tweet has now been liked 26,000 times with many people expressing sympathy for the person who pilfered the computer.
The unnamed thief started the message by saying he was “very, very sorry” for taking the student’s laptop. “I am extremely poor and needed the money,” the thief explained. “I left your phone and wallet, so I hope that slightly makes up for something.” The thief added, “I can see you are a university student. If there is any files such as university work on here that you need, let me know and I will send them to you here. Once again I am sorry.”
“I actually like this thief because of his honesty though he was poor,” one wrote, while several said they would be happy to let the thief keep it after reading that explanation. One said that the message “breaks my heart,” while another added, “This is the nicest thief I’ve ever seen.” One even suggested that the laptop owner should reply and find the thief and give him some money. However, another said that despite the email being sweet, the student is now left without their laptop and can’t do their work, not to mention being on a limited budget themselves.
