Taking a break from the heat in Dante Coffee today with an entirely overpriced iced coffee, I read this in the Taipei Times and it made me miss my former home away from home:

New Zealand: Burglar Says Sorry With Gifts:
A burglar visited Graeme Glass' home twice in one day, first to steal some goods and later to return them-along with a heartfelt apology note. The thief strcuk while Glass was at work in Queenstown on Tuesday. The burglar smashed a window to gain entry and made off with a computer, a camera and Glass's wallet with an American Express card. The thief returned the goods later in the day, along with a new basketball and two pairs of gloves bought on the stolen credit card. Glass and his wife Shirley discovered the loot piled on their kitchen table with a neat, handwritten full-page note from the burglar saying he was sorry for "violating the safety and security of your home."

In other news, the Philadelphia Mutter museum also made headlines here!
