A 12-year-old Swiss boy has sent an apology to the owner of a store in the Republic of San Marino, an enclave of less than 35 inhabitants located in northern Italy, for stealing a Kinder Egg chocolate.
“I received a registered letter from Switzerland, handwritten and with 10 euros inside, as a letter of apology from a father whose son stole a Kinder Egg from me on a trip,” said Danilo Chiaruzzi, owner of the Alimentare Chiaruzzi grocery store in the center of San Marino.
In a post on social media, the Italian explained that the letter was written in German and talks about a 12-year-old boy who participated in a school trip last May.
“My name is Benjamin, I'm 12 years old and I'm from Switzerland. Sunday, May 30th, I went into your store, but I didn't have any money, so I stole a Joy Kinder egg. I'm sorry and I know I was wrong. I hope you can forgive me because I would like to be at peace with you and with God”, wrote the boy, attaching “10 euros to be forgiven”.
The case went viral on social media and became news in several Italian newspapers. “I was stunned and this should be read by many guys who every day, for fun or dare, steal chips, sweets or others”, added the store owner.
Chiaruzzi further explained that he will respond to the boy's letter with a postcard and an invitation for him to “come back and visit us for a handshake”. (Handle)
