New Delhi, July 5
A thief robbed the residence of a retired teacher in Tamil Nadu but left an apology note promising to return the stolen items in a month.
The police stated that the incident took place Megnanapuram's Sathankulam road when Selvin and his wife, both retired teachers, left to meet their son in Chennai on June 17.
The couple had hired a domestic help, Selvi, to clean the house periodically in their absence. The maid found the door open and informed the owners. When they reached home, they found that they had been robbed of Rs 60,000, 12 gm gold jewellery and a pair of silver anklets.
The police were called who found an apology letter purportedly left by the burglar in which he apologised and promised to return the stolen items in a month.
"Forgive me. I will return this in a month. I am doing this if someone in my house is not well," the letter stated.
The police have registered a case of burglary and begun investigation.
