Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Police Department shared on social media that they received a pair of handcuffs, $100 and an apology letter sent by a 74-year-old man.
"I have felt a little guilty each time I saw the hand cuffs over the years, but did nothing about it," the man wrote in the letter. "They were aghast and asked me why I stole the handcuffs from a policeman. I, of course, had no good explanation and I told them it was the wrong thing to do and I wasn't proud of it and then I danced around the subject," he added as he ended it with "I am sincerely sorry."
Take a look at the full apology letter below.
