PELHAM, N.H. (AP) -- Police in southern New Hampshire are searching for a burglar who says he's sorry.Pelham police say a resident who pulled into his driveway Friday afternoon caught a burglar coming out of the house with jewelry boxes and electronic items.
The homeowner told police that when he approached the burglar, the man apologized, then put the stolen goods back.
Police say the homeowner tried to detain the burglar by engaging him in conversation, but the suspect fled by the time officers arrived.
Ooooh! These are your things? I wasn't sure. I mean, I know this is your house and not mine and the jewelry has your wife's name engraved on it, but I just figured maybe it belonged to me. My bad. Let me just go ahead and put these things back and I'll be on my way. No harm done! I'll just come back when your lights aren't on and there are newspapers piled up in your driveway indicating that you are out of town. Great. See you later.
