Would-be thief sends merciful NY store owner $50
SHIRLEY, N.Y. – A Long Island convenience store owner
who showed mercy to a would-be robber said he's received an apology
note and $50 in the mail. The unsigned note said it was from the man
who tried to rob Mohammad Sohail. It said the would-be robber has a new
job, a new child, and is staying out of trouble.
Sohail is saving the $50 for charity.
The
bat-wielding man tearfully told Sohail in May that he was trying to
feed his family. The rifle-toting businessman gave him $40 and bread,
and made him promise never to rob again.
The man disappeared when Sohail went to get milk for the family.
