Courteous Thief Thanks Careless Principal

BURAIDAH, 3 January 2006 — A courteous thief left a thank-you note behind him after he finished stealing from a girls’ high school, Al-Jazirah daily reported. Unless the robbery was an inside job, it would be fair to assume that the thief didn’t expect to discover SR10,000 in the principal’s office. Subsequently, the thief decided to leave the note, explaining his surprise at the windfall booty.
