The letter apologizing to a family in Guelph for stealing their possessions.

  • When a Guelph, Ont., couple woke up last Friday, they found their digital camera and Xbox console in a plastic bag on the front porch. According to the attached letter, they’d been robbed the night before — and the thief had been having second thoughts.

    “I compromised your feelings of safety in your own home,” read the anonymous letter, headlined “apology,” and addressed to the “family I have wronged.”

Thanks for including it.  

 

And $50 for the screen, too...in his financially straitened circumstances...touching stuff.

 

Great personal progress was just made by this person.  The angels rejoice.  Hallelujah brother.  Peace; and go on your way, the better for your experience.  Particularly as how he had realized that he had compromised the feelings of safety in his own home (by knowing how HE would have felt).  Chalk it UP.
