Brother Howzit, I am aware that yesterday I took your laptop. I was in need of cash because I'd been having financial difficulties. I see you were working on a study proposal. I've attached it, and if you need any further files, let me know by Monday at noon since I've found a customer. Once more, dude, ngiyacolisa," the email begins. (Also Read: OMG!

“At the back of one of my business cards I had my cousin's number written on a pen, he dropped the bag with the note "This laptop bag is stolen, please trace its owner using this number as he may be desperate for his documents inside". I was touched, I couldn't believe it,” he further said.

I once got robbed at gunpoint in a taxi. He took my phone, backpack and wallet. But for some reason he didnt shoot me when I calmly asked for my sims and atm cards

He actually let me have them. Then kicked me out in the middle of nowhere

Oddly I hope he is doing better in life  Jay Zeus (OberynAtreides) October 30, 2022

We once had my friends phone stolen after an all white party event. It was the only one we had been taking photos on all night so we asked the thief to please just send the photos. 3am my phone started buzzing with our pictures sometimes thieves are somewhat nice  IG: TiisetsoGama (tiisetsogama) October 30, 2022
