A 'content and polite' robber returns excess cash

Should he be prosecuted ?

The frightened grocer emptied his drawer of nearly KD400 (Dh5,300) and handed it to the thief, who quietly took KD20 and told the owner to put the rest back in the drawer.“

He then said to me: "Can u please give me three packets of Marlboro,” the grocer said, quoted by the Kuwaiti Arabic language daily Al Anba.

“After I gave him the cigarettes, he said thanks and left. He was a very content thief and even as he was robbing me, he was very polite.”

He { the guest } seemed to be of deeply spiritual kind ..... proof is that he { the guest } sacrificed so much in the one single event of a day .... A noble gesture towards the grocer { by the guest } ..... It 's only natural being a { two } armed human as everybody else ....

ok its 'he' and not 'she'....coz the she was a typo error whereas it should be a 'he'

So utlimately, i dont have the option to change the 'she' into a 'he' tats why i have to type 'he' here in another comments.

Hence its a 'He'.....:)
