Whoever broke into a Massachusetts man’s home last week didn’t take a thing. They did, however, leave the house spotless.
Nate Roman, 44, informed that he and his 5-year-old son arrived at their Marlborough home on May 15 and found the back door open.
He said he could smell bleach and other cleaning solvents, while his son’s room – which was messy when they left it – was neatly arranged and the bed was made. An Origami rose made out toilet paper was left on the bathroom door handle, he said.
Roman said it was possible that a housemaid may have confused his home for another residence. Marlborough Police said they have no suspects or leads in the case, but the situation would be considered breaking and entering – a misdemeanor offense.
He has since changed his locks - and kept the paper rose as a souvenir of the incident.
Earlier, Steve Valentine, a Birmingham resident, took to Twitter to reveal how his flatmate received an email from the apparent thief who had stolen the laptop that contained his university course work.
The thief wrote in the mail that he was poor and needed money. In fact, he even offered to send files that the student might need for his course work. Within no time the tweet went viral and after listening to such a bizarre story Twitterati could not help but shower sweet love on the thief's genuine gesture.
