A thief who stole goods worth Rs65,000(Dh3,254) and Rs5,000(Dh250) in cash from a supermarket, on Thursday, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, has left social media users baffled by leaving an apology note at the store.
The supermarket is located in the Usilampatti-Madurai Road in Chennai, which is owned by a 30-year-old M Ramprakash.
In the letter, the thief said that he took the extreme step because he was hungry.
According to an Indian newspaper, The New Indian Express, the thief wrote: “Apologies. I am hungry. You lost only one day’s revenue, but this is equivalent to my three month’s revenue. Once again, my apologies.”
Talking to the media, the shop owner said that when he opened his supermarket on October 8, he noticed that two of his computers, a television, and the cash was missing from the shop.
Following this, he filed a complaint to the nearest police station, and the investigation revealed that the thief had also stolen the CCTV footage.
Police officials have registered a case under sections 457 and 380 of the Indian Penal Code.
Writing an apology after breaking into properties and retailers to loot is not new. In Kerala, earlier in February, a thief had stolen from five shops, and when he hit the sixth place, he had a change of heart as it was the home of a former Indian soldier. The thief left an apology on the wall in Malayalam, drank alcohol from the soldier’s bar and left without stealing.
