"Good thief" leaves apology
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A Dutch thief left an apologetic letter and promised a donation after he realised he was burgling a charity that helps the poor and elderly.

The thief's remorseful handwritten letter praised charity group Humanitas for its work and agonised over the effect the burglary would have on his conscience.

"I have only eaten some biscuits from the tin and some Easter eggs. When I'm less hard up I will make a small contribution to your account," said the account of the letter published on the Humanitas Web site (www.humanitas.nl).

Humanitas said it has no plans to file a police report on the break-in at its office in Arnhem, near the German border.
