Last week there was an odd story out of Lawrence, KS.

Someone stole 16 soccer nets from a youth sports complex; no one could explain the motivation for the theft, since the market for cheap used soccer nets isn’t exactly thriving.  Amidst the resulting uproar, as the association scrambled to replace them in time for the weekend’s games, all 16 soccer nets mysteriously reappeared in a garbage bag on the front lawn of the association’s equipment coordinator.  With the nets was an envelope containing $50 and an apology:

“I’m sorry. I intended to return these from the start.  I didn’t know the complications that would follow. Please accept this $50 donation for repairs.”
