There's also a surveillance video, so you can watch it happen. It was extremely nice of him not to call the cops or anything. Hopefully he actually got through to the thief.

 

Wow, what an amazing gesture. It's good to see people like that in today's world.

 

That's pretty dang cool. And it's nice to see the press showing the better side of Islam for a change, also. That's the kind of Muslim people should hear about, not the Fundamentalists. Unfortunately, people like him rarely sell papers.

 

It kind of reminds me of the New Hampshire news story. A man pulled into his driveway just as a robber was leaving his house. The robber apologized, walked back into the house, put the stuff back, and hauled ass out of there empty handed (supposedly, he probably pocketed something, imo)

 

Now that's a Muslim.

 

That's pretty decent o:

I wonder whether the thief was being sincere or not. I hope he was.

 

Oh, that's so awesome. It really shows how nothing is black and white. Thieves aren't always the heartless, menacing stock villians that stereotypes make them out to be. How wonderful of the man to take pity on him.

I love the alliteration here. XD

 

I really hope that the theif wasn't lying...But, in this economy...That was pretty damn nice of him.

 

Wow who would of ever thought that would happen? Normally you don't see anything like that. It would be the opposite. The economy has really done a number on pulling other's heart strings.

 

Incredibly nice of the storekeeper, but I hope that thief didn't make the story up just to get away.
