Thief Steals Pune Woman's Bag, Couriers Her License Back
Dey had filed a complaint at the Wanowrie police station.
Have you ever met an honest thief anytime in your life? Then acquaint yourself to this robber from Pune who still had a tiny bit of integrity left in him. Maybe, filled with guilt after committing the crime, he returned an important official document to its owner. Sapna Dey had lost her branded bag after someone broke into her car on March 17. While the bag also had other valuables, the 47-year-old was more worried about her driving license.
While Dey was worried about the tedious formalities through which she will have to apply for a new one, she recently received a courier which had her license. A surprised Dey first called her son to inform of the retrieval of the license. Dey also expressed gratitude in the thief's honesty which saved her a lot of time in applying for and getting a duplicate one. Her bag was stolen from her car which was parked near MG Road in Camp area, Pune. She had gone for her regular evening walk on the Race Course when the incident happened.
Following the incident, Dey had filed a complaint at the Wanowrie police station. She said, "My purse contained about Rs1,500 in cash, my driving licence and some other valuables. My branded purse was more important to me as it was a gift from my elder son."
Talking about surprise courier, Pune Mirror quoted Dey as saying, "As soon as I learned that my bag had been stolen, I lodged a complaint with the Wanawadi Bazaar police chowky. Back then, I had completely lost hope of getting the bag back and planned to apply for a new driving licence as that was the only important document in it. To my surprise, however, on Thursday evening I received a parcel from an unknown person and it had my lost licence."
In a similar incident last week, a 24-year-old man travelling on the Delhi Metro had lost his wallet, but received it with all its belongings few days later. Thanks to a Good Samaritan, who mailed his wallet eleven days after the incident.
