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.”

Yes, he should only have a small part of his hand cut off.
britey, buts its not fair...he was a gentle theif who only took 20KD and returned 380Kd back...hence he should be treated fair !
Rizks: The fact is that he will get the same sentence whether he too 20KD or 2000KD
You won't find practically motivators every day & in every city .......

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'.....:)
Wat a humble thief, she should be rewarded with 4 pack of Malboro cigrattes along with a pack of Parle G biscuits too ! :)
