問題詳情:
The owner of an Indian food shop in Bristol was astounded to receive an apology letter and money in compensation(補償) from a thief who stole from his shop seven years ago.
The shop owner, Imran Ahmed, 27, said he never expected that the thief would get in touch after so long. He said he remembered returning to the shop to find his windows broken and goods stolen. He didn’t know whether the police had ever caught anyone in connection with the crime(犯罪活動) because they hadn’t remembered to contact him. He supposed that the case had been closed long ago, so he just tried to forget it and went on doing business as usual.
Seemingly, the criminal had not been planning to rob the shop that night in 2008---the letter says,’ About seven years ago I was walking past your shop late one night when I noticed that someone had broken into it .’ With the shop front wide open, there was nothing to prevent the thief from stepping inside and taking anything he wanted. There were some cigarettes lying there and the thief grabbed them and ran.
Now, it seems the mystery thief regrets stealing from the shop and has stopped carrying out such crimes. At the time of the robbery, ‘my life was in a mess,’ the ashamed thief explained in the letter, but now ‘I’m trying to lead an honest life.’
The shop owner, Mr Ahmed, was moved by the letter. In fact, he was so touched and pleased by the thief’s change of heart that he is planning to give the money to charity. His said, ’I would love to find out who he was but I don’t think he will contact us. It’s amazing this has happened and to have something like this happen is really good.’ He has put it away and it is well kept in a box.
Avon and Somerset Police spokesman Steve Game said, ‘ The police are very pleased to hear that a victim(受害人) has received some compensation for a crime. The letter shows that criminals can change their lives for the better.’
