A motorcyclist snatched a middle school teacher’s bag, containing her cell phone, bank cards and the equivalent of $630 in cash.

She sent him 21 text messages saying things like:

“I’m Pan Aiying, a teacher from Wutou Middle School. You must be going through a difficult time. If so, I will not blame you,” wrote Pan in her first text message which did not get a response.

“Keep the 4,900 yuan if you really need it, but please return the other things to me. You are still young. To err is human. Correcting your mistakes is more important than anything.”

She did this 21 times.

And he returned the bag. Nothing missing. Wrote a note saying he’d correct his ways and “be an upright person.”

Right on.
