Burglars return stolen computers when they realize it belonged to anonprofit organization.

On the night of July 31^st, 2013, thieves broke into the Sexual Assault Services office in San Bernardino, California and stole a laptop, along with several computer towers and monitors.

When police arrived to document the scene, they began talking to people on the street, explaining what had happened and that the local nonprofit center for helping victims of sexual violence had been robbed.

Word quickly reached the thieves, who, the following morning, emptied their stolen goods into a shopping cart and returned the items to the front of the nonprofit under cover of darkness. While investigating for evidence, the police came across a handwritten note from the robbers, stating, “We had no idea what we were taking. Here[‘s] your stuff back. We hope that you guys can continue to make a difference in peoples’ lives.”
