In Tokyo, an unknown man stole a Swiss Audemars Piguet watch worth 46 million yen (257 thousand euros), but a few days later he returned it via courier delivery. The package contained a handwritten apology note, The Japan Times reports.
The theft occurred in the evening of 29 October at the Nakano Broadway shopping center in the Nakano district of Tokyo. A man dressed in all black entered the watch shop pretending to be a shopper and asked to show him the model. He put the watch on his left wrist, then ran out of the store and逃走.
However, in the morning of 1 November, store employees received the package containing the stolen watch. Serial number check confirmed that it was the same item. Inside was also a note saying "I am very sorry." The police continue to search for the suspect: the sender information on the package turned out to be fictitious.
