Brother Howzit, I am aware that yesterday I took your laptop. I was in need of cash because I'd been having financial difficulties. I see you were working on a study proposal. I've attached it, and if you need any further files, let me know by Monday at noon since I've found a customer. Once more, dude, ngiyacolisa," the email begins. ()

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.

I once got robbed at gunpoint in a taxi. He took my phone, backpack and wallet. But for some reason he didnt shoot me when I calmly asked for my sims and atm cards

He actually let me have them. Then kicked me out in the middle of nowhere

Oddly I hope he is doing better in life

Anyone who is able to offer this guy a job please
This man went through the laptop and found a Research proposal and actually appreciates the effort and time that goes into it

Honestly I’d hire him if I had the means

We once had my friends phone stolen after an all white party event. It was the only one we had been taking photos on all night so we asked the thief to please just send the photos. 3am my phone started buzzing with our pictures sometimes thieves are somewhat nice
