But a local daily reported on Tuesday that a burglar in Qatif, Eastern Province, did just that. Overwhelmed with his feeling of guilt, the man returned to the residence he had raided and confessed to the owner what he had done.

He surrendered to police and identified his accomplice. Of course maybe the detailed descriptions of him and his co-conspirator that were circulating online helped to nudge him toward the path of righteousness and redemption.
