Little boy steals two chocolate bars, returns the money he owes 43 years later

Ah, stop.

A man who stole two chocolate bars from a store in Liverpool 43 years ago has graciously returned the money he owes. The unknown man took the bars from a Woolworth's when he was a young boy without paying in 1975. This week, the manager of Liverpool's Belle Vale shopping centre received a handwritten note from the man apologising for his actions. The man also enclosed a £5 note. https://twitter.com/BelleValeSC/status/1017710379735093249 He wrote:

"Dear Sir, I stole 2 bars of chocolate from Woolworths in your shopping centre in 1975 when I was a little boy. "I apologize. I didn't know any better. Here's the money I owe you for them."

The contents of the letter were shared on Belle Vale's Twitter page this week. They wrote that the note was "restoring our faith in humanity." Woolworths closed all of their stores in the UK between 2008 and 2009 resulting in over 27,000 job losses. Belle Vale shopping centre told the Liverpool Echo that the money received will be donated to charity.
