A homeless man who walked away with an estimated $10,000 worth of tools from a construction site later returned to the scene of the crime to make amends. The business owner was livid, but soon had a change of heart and hired the thief.

Surveillance footage caught 33-year-old Travis Sueyoshi stealing from a TSW Fabrication construction site on Koaki Street in Waipahu, Hawaii, on two separate occasions in January. Owner John Paul Cates was understandably vexed by the theft.
