An Arkansas woman’s stolen cash was turned over to police with a letter of apology from the thief who took it from her wallet.
Susan McNabb said she left her wallet, and the $160 cash it contained, behind at the Walmart store in Clinton, and when she returned a short time later, the wallet was still there but the cash was gone.
“Then I went down to the city police and reported it,” McNabb told KARK-TV.
McNabb said she was surprised when police called her Wednesday morning to say someone had come by the station and dropped off an envelope containing $160 cash and a note.
Police said the woman who brought in the envelope left without giving her name.
McNabb said the woman’s change-of-heart has inspired her to spend the money on helping others.
A Pennsylvania police department detailed a similar tale of remorse earlier in July.
