Police Statement
"He said he felt bad about it... I've been in law enforcement for 14 years, and I've never seen this happen. I thought everybody was pulling a joke on me. I get called to the store to report that same gentleman came back last night, almost 24 hours to the minute, and returned the cash."--Detective Charles LeuverChicago Sun-Times: Dunkin' Donuts Robber Arrested After Returning Money-
