A thief - with a conscience?

This is both strange and surprising. First some background to this story. A thief stole my collection of music CD's out of my car. He also stole some library CD's as well. It was a 4 disc collection of Sherlock Holmes stories. (In case you are wondering yes I forgot to lock my doors). I had to pay the library for the loss of the CD. It cost my $45.

I found out today that the library CD's had been returned. Not sure who. The library refunded my money which is good news. I figure one of 3 things happened

• the thief decided that he didn't want it and returned them to the library. I consider this unlikely. He is more likely to just throw them out
• It was dropped on the ground. Someone found them and returned it
• the police found them during a raid and returned them to the library.
  

If the police did find them then maybe they found my CD collection. I should call and ask. It was a good collection.

My thanks to the returnee - thief or otherwise.
