The thief was plagued by guilt and returned the valuable loot. There was also a note in the package.

A thief in Tokyo stole a luxury watch worth 46 million yen but later returned it with an apology note. The incident occurred on October 29 at Nakano Broadway, where the thief pretended to be a customer. After the theft, the watch was sent back from Aichi Prefecture, accompanied by a handwritten note expressing remorse. The police are investigating the case to identify the thief, who used a false name for the return shipment. This incident follows a similar theft in the same area earlier this year, where four luxury watches were stolen.
