Surprise in a Hotel

Surprise: a young woman returned [to] the hotel a bag with
tens of items, which she stole over the years. She took
everything – from kettles to slippers and dishes. “I became
religious and I regret [on] what I have done”, she explained in
a letter that she attached to the huge package, which arrived
at the hotel at the Dead Sea a few days before Yom Kippur.

Even the oldest people in the hotel business at the Dead Sea do
not remember such a case: a woman, who over the years stayed
in the hotel and systematically stole everything, sent all of the
items back along with a letter of regret. In the letter that arrived a
few days before Yom Kippur, the thief (f.) also explained that she
decided to return the stolen property because lately she became
religious.

The woman stayed many times in the Nirvana Yam Hamealch
hotel and each time she used to steal several items till she
accumulated huge amounts. Two weeks ago she decided to return
the whole catch, which included tens of items – starting with
expensive kettles, pillows, sheets, blankets, towels, robes and
slippers through plates, glasses, ashtrays and ending with knives,
spoons and forks.

In the letter of apology that was attached to the surprising
package, the young woman from the center of Israel wrote to the
Hotel Public Relations manager – Leon Ben Amron, that she
apologized and asked for forgiveness for stealing systematically
from the hotel over the years. "I decided to return all what I have
taken, because we became religious (Ba'alat Tshuva) (apparently
she and her husband) and we regret our deeds" she wrote.
