Remorseful German thief returns stolen loot BERLIN (Reuters) - A remorseful thief sent 300 pounds worth of stolen goods to the police and asked they be returned to their rightful owners, German authorities say. Police in the southern town of Darmstadt said the thief sent them a letter signed "mea culpa", listing the return address as Ehrlichstrasse (Honest street) in apologising for the theft of 500 euros worth of CDs, cosmetics and other goods. Darmstadt police spokesman Ferdinand Derigs said the contrite perpetrator had supplied the addresses of the shops plundered for the separately packed wares, and enclosed personal letters of apology to the respective managers. "The thief even suggested they install more cameras and improve security, warning that a lot of things were getting pinched," said Derigs. "Now we have the goods, but no culprit. One out of two isn't bad though."
