Repentant of the theft, he wrote a letter to the shopkeeper to apologize and "compensate him" .

The protagonist is a 12-year-old Swiss boy.

The story was told by Danilo Chiaruzzi, owner of a grocery store in the center of San Marino .

"I received a registered letter from Switzerland - he writes on social media - handwritten with 10 euros inside, as a letter of apology from a father whose son would have stolen a Kinder egg from me on a trip".

"I was stunned and this should be read by many young people who every day, for fun or challenge, steal chips, candies or other! I will reply with a postcard and an invitation to come back to see us to shake his hand !", Continues the shopkeeper.

The letter is written in German: "On Sunday May 30th I went into your shop. Since I had no money I stole a Joy Kinder egg. I am very sorry, and I know I was wrong . Since I want to live in peace with God and with you, I enclose 10 euros to make me forgive ... ".

"I suffer many thefts, all the time - Chiaruzzi told the Resto del Carlino - but no one who has ever returned anything. To the letter for this boy I will also add a typical cake of San Marino because I will certainly not forget the gesture he made " .
