what do you think of a good hearted robber?

Are you sure the mail was from the robber? Someone may have found her purse after the robber took all the cash, etc and thrown the purse away. It could have been just a person sending back her stuff. Then again what would a robber need with that. On the other hand I would now be worried that the robber has her address...

i personally wouldn't feel comfortable the robber knows where i live. maybe he felt a bit guilty about it.

I had a similar experience a few years ago. My wallet was stolen, and a few weeks later it was returned by a post master, less the cash, but photos and credit and debit cards were in tact. I believe these kind of robers are desperate for cash, but realize and respect the owners the owner.

I guess in away he is,he did not have to return anything.Robbing is wrong,but he did take notice of her plead.I think this means he is not a harden robber yet,and he stills has feelings of it being wrong.

Interesting. Robbing people is wrong. But times are tough and some people are turning to crime to get by. It's wrong but I also understand just a bit. My thinking is that maybe this fella feels guilt over what he feels he MUST do. And your friends story may just have pushed the guilt even higher. It's good that he feels that. Maybe it'll help him pick a better path in life.

No. A goodhearted person doesn't go around robbing people. This person at least appeared to feel guilty enough to send the woman back her photo and IDs. However, the fact that this person mailed the items back just reinforces that he knows where she lives and can rob her again.

A robber with a having a good heart. It sound like the robber may have a conscience after all. I give him credit for returning the victim possessions.

One lesson I have learned in this world is that not all people that do bad things are bad, and not all people that do good things are good! Maybe this robber was desperate for the cash and felt they had no other way to get it, but the guilt ate them alive afterwards. My only concern would be that the robber now knows where your friend lives. The robber's dna and fingerprints would more then likely be all over the stuff the robber sent back too, so if taken to the Police your friend may get an arrest made against this robber.

Not everybody who does bad things is totally evil. Most robbers would have just thrown those things away. So this robber at least has a soft spot.

most of the robbers just need money.they robber for a good living. but they are good man in innermost.

Hmm, sometimes there are good people being backed into a corner because of some factor or other. Perhaps the robber was really just in need of finances that he had to resort to such acts. Sure, doing them would still be a crime even if the intentions were good but at least this time, the robber had enough conscience to give back what his victim asked of him. Also, I think those items would be of no use to him so maybe to appease his conscience a bit, he sent those items back. At least there are actual instances proving that not all criminals are evil.

While it is not okay to rob someone I think that it was nice of him to return her personal belongings. Maybe the robber was down on his luck as MANY MANY other americans are & decided to deal w/it that way. It is sad that he robbed her i'm not condoning that, but maybe was the only other option he felt he had. @ least he didn't hurt her thats the imp thing.

Wow, what a thought, a good hearted robber. It is like kidnapping a person and giving good meal to him. Can he be called a good kidnaper, no because he is asking money as ransom money. Don't get me wrong but I am against people who says that if a thief has returned something which was special to us and nothing to him, he is a good hearted person. A thief is a thief. If s/he got caught by police, s/he will still get a jail, don't they? Everyone tries to make his point on whatever they do. I have once stolen one video game from my cousion but the next day I returned it by saying that I found it in the garden. Although, I did a right thing but still I commited two crimes: 1. Stealing 2. Lying.

I think that robber is really in need of money but still have conscience to give back the things that are important for her, but I don't agree that he has a good heart because what he did was not good at all.

Hello victory I think that there are some good hearted robbers , maybe they were not criminals by instinct but their situations made them , some are so poor , some feels unfairness from others .. Here in Jordan something really strange occurred , a robber was watching a house to steal it , he found that there are man and a woman come regularly to the house with some one else , they both leave and the third person doesn't , after few days of watching the house he became suspicious " where are all those people go to , and why they stay at the house " , he called a local radio station and told them the story , and he told them to tell the police because he cant as they will arrest him, this happened at the live hour for that radio station , the police headed for that house and when they entered they found dozens of bodies stored at refrigerators and their organs have been removed .. the police arrested the man and the woman who were managing that house , and it appeared that they were a part of Organ Trading mafia .. so this robber had made a favor for the country that would never be forgotten

I think it must be hard to say if anyone, thief or not, is good-hearted. But in the situation you talked about, he probably returned it because those things--IDs, driver's license, and a photo--really are of no use to anyone except the person they belong to. I'm sorry your friend lost her bag, but I'm also glad that she was able to keep her real valuables.

Wow...impossible to believe but if there's a robber out there like him I think he is not really that bad. Maybe it's his first time to rob that's why he was eaten by guilt of what he has done.

i dont know .maybe he should have left a returned address so that they could arest him.if he would have ask her for money i am sure she would have gave it to him. just out right wrong to do that to the girl.if he did not return her money i would say he is not as kind hearted as you may thing.

I have read a few of the responses before submitting my own and a few of you said she should be worried that the robber now knows her address (since mailing her items back to her). Well here's a news flash: EVERY robber who takes anyone's purse, wallet, etc that has identifying information in it has that person's address! In that respect she is no worse off than any other robbery victim so I don't think she needs to walk around fearful because of this fact. Having said that, most robbers want the money and valuables and have no interest in the other stuff. I personally have found a few purses that had been tossed aside with ID, pictures, keys, etc still in the purse. I have never found one with money in it. When I do find these I take them to the police so they can return these items to the person. In this case either one of two things happened. Either the robber or someone close to him had enough heart to return the items (which is probably the case especially if the picture was not damaged in any way) or someone found the items and put them in the mail. Either way, she was very blessed to have this happen even in the face of the actual robbery.

That really is an incredible story I can't imagine what was going true his head when he was robbing your friend. I am not excuising that person for the action that he did with your friend but we really don't know what made him do that. We also do not know if he or she has a family and maybe he got desperate to get money for them. Or he is a bum that wanted money for a fix. It might have got to him that he had or has a family and he would have known what something special like a picture is really worth more than all the money you may have in your wallet or purse. So yes I do think he or she has a heart we all do and there are just a fue people that really don't care about the reast of us. :)
