  Repentant Christmas thief returns booty in Germany

  良心发现 德一窃贼将平安夜所偷赃款大部分送还警察

  A repentant thief who stole 3,000 euros (2,000 pounds) from a German post office on Christmas Eve returned most of the loot a few hours later -- but kept 1,000 euros for himself, police in Bavaria said.

  德国巴伐利亚州警方近日表示,该国一名窃贼在平安夜那天从当地一家邮局内盗走3000欧元,不过仅仅数个小时后此人便良心发现,主动将其所偷赃款的较大部分送还给了警方。

  The thief with a guilty conscience called police in the Bavarian town of Maroldswiesach to apologise, saying he "made a stupid mistake" and then said he had put the money in an envelope at a local church.

  据路透社12月26日报道,这名满怀负罪感的小偷作案后立即给警方打电话表达深深的歉意,他先是声称自己"犯了一个愚蠢的错误",紧接着便告诉警方已经将那些钱装入一个信封并放在一所教堂内。

  "Why his conscience was not bad enough to move him to return the whole 3,000 euros is not known," a police spokesman said after 2,000 euros was retrieved in the envelope.

  警方一位发言人说:"此人能主动退回所偷赃款,看来其良心尚未完全丧失,不过现在还搞不清到底是何种原因驱使他做出此种举动。"
