“I Regret It” – Woman Returns Stolen $200 To Bar Owners 15 Years Later With Apology Note

A woman has paid back a sum of $200 almost 15 years after she initially stole it from a bar she working in at the time. Pamela Hedges, proprietor of Gibb’s bar, Nebraska, received a cheque for $200 along with a note of apology from a former employee. In the handwritten letter, which was addressed to both Pamela and her husband, the woman expressed deep regret of her actions and thanked the couple for the position. The letter reads: “I worked for you at Gibbs back in 1999 or 2000 (I think). Not only was I flaky employee, I also stole from the drawer when I worked". "I want to make sure you know I was appreciative of the job and that I regretted stealing from you. Please accept this check for what I estimate to be how much I stole. I hope you are both well." The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, explained her actions to ABC News, “I returned the money because it was wrong and I regret it.” "I was young and I was dishonest. I only worked at the bar for a month or two on the weekends. I wasn't a very good bartender". "If I can speak with them [Pamela and Gibb Hedges] again, I would tell them how much I appreciated the job," the ex-barmaid said. "I have my life back on the right track now, and I regret everything I did". ABC News | ABC Sports News Hat-tip: ABC News
