Thief returns stolen jewels along with apology note
Kerala : In an interesting turn of events, a thief who stole gold ornaments from a house at Karumadi in Alappuzha district of Kerala, has returned the the ornaments along with a letter of apology.
According to a report by the Times of India, Madhukumar and his family, from whose house the theft occurred came to know about the incident when they returned home after attending a wedding in Karuvatta.
As per reports by The Hindu, the police is reported to have said, “After returning home, they examined the cupboard and found that gold earrings and other ornaments weighing around one sovereign were missing. Mr Madhu lodged a complaint with the police on Wednesday. He also named a person whom he suspected. However, to everyone’s surprise someone left the missing gold ornaments along with an apology letter at the gate of Mr. Madhu’s house on Thursday morning,”
The letter reads, “Please forgive me, I did this because of my circumstances and I’m sorry.”
“I will not repeat such things again. Please don’t go to the police against me,” he added in the letter.
Madhu is reportedly not interested in pursuing the case.
This is not the first time that an incident of this sort is being reported from Kerala.
In a similar incident which took place in Thiruvananthapuram last year, a thief who had stolen some luxury goods from a house had returned the goods back to the owner with an apology letter as well.
Though, in this case, the owner of the house had given the police, the CCTV footages of the theft following which the police had posted the footage on social media, from where it reached the thief.
Asianet news had reported that the thief returned the goods with an apology letter saying “I’m a student. I made a mistake, please don’t ruin my life. If the police catch me, they will charge me with all cases pending in the station. The tension is killing me, please tell the police to take down the Facebook post.”

We are together at home: Sharad Pawar on Ajit Pawar
Mumbai (PTI): Former Union minister Sharad Pawar on Monday said that he and nephew Ajit Pawar are together as a family, but made it clear that the latter was heading a different political party.
“Gharat tari ekatrach ahet (we are together at home least),” the veteran politician said at a press conference at Chiplun in coastal Konkan region.
He was responding to a query about the demand from “various quarters in the state” that the uncle-nephew duo should come together once again.
In July last year, Ajit Pawar broke away from his uncle to join the Eknath Shinde-led government in the state as deputy chief minister. Of late, there has been speculation over his continuation in the ruling alliance.
Asked about Ajit Pawar’s recent remarks the decision to make his wife Sunetra Pawar contest the Lok Sabha polls against Supriya Sule in Baramati was a mistake, the veteran politician said, “He is in a different party. Why should we comment on decisions taken by another party?”
Asked if the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance of NCP (SP), Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT) had decided its chef ministerial face, Pawar said, “I don’t think that it is an urgent issue at the moment”.
When elections were held after the Emergency, Morarji Desai’s name as PM candidate was not disclosed before polling, he added.
“Our (MVA) attempt is to give a progressive alternative in Maharashtra with help of other parties like Samajwadi Party and Peasants and Workers Party,” he said.
“Our observation is that the people of Maharashtra have made up their mind to give us (MVA) a chance in the ensuing elections,” he said.
Asked about Andhra CM Chandrababu Naidu’s claim that sub-standard ghee with 'animal fat' was used to make prasad laddoos at Tirupati temple during Jaganmohan Reddy's tenure as CM, Pawar said, “If anything was mixed, it is very wrong and action should be taken against those involved”.
