In the subject column, the thief mentioned “sorry for the laptop.” After the post goes viral, several individuals posted their experiences in the comments section. "I experienced a related incident. He broke into my car and stole my laptop bag, which had my ID, licence, wallet, and other items. He pulled items like his laptop, iPad, and R70 out of his wallet before dropping the bag off at the Spar parcel counter, according to a user.



“At the back of one of my business cards I had my cousin's number written on a pen, he dropped the bag with the note "This laptop bag is stolen, please trace its owner using this number as he may be desperate for his documents inside". I was touched, I couldn't believe it,” he further said.
