Stealing Books and Apologizing: The Code of the Polite Thief 📚
The most curious aspect of the case is that, according to reports, the thief used to apologize to his victims while fleeing with the loot. Imagine coming home and finding a thank-you note next to the gap left by the stolen book. A true gentleman of crime, although the police didn't take his manners lightly. That said, if he's going to steal, at least he could leave the bookshelf tidy.
