Haven’t we all heard about incidences where individuals have bravely foiled robbery attempts? From a 77-year-old punching a robber to a 10-year-old ‘Karate Kid’ tackling 3 grown men, people these days sure know how to protect their belongings.
However, what if I told you about robbers that themselves returned their loot? Sounds absurd, right? Well, according to News18, 2 robbers from Pakistan not only returned a stolen package but also comforted the owner.
It all began when two men on a bike parked their vehicle near a food delivery person unloading his package in Karachi. As the rider stopped the bike, the man sitting pillion got off and mugged the guy.
Have a look at the entire incident:

Realizing what happened, the delivery person started sobbing in front of the robbers. This caused the robbers to have a change of heart as they returned the package they stole from him. Not only that, they even tried to pacify him. In fact, one of the robbers even gave him a hug.
Many people were taken aback by the robbers’ empathy:
A small act of kindness has moved us to tears. This tells a lot about the kind of toxic environment we live in. Little things make a big difference.
Humanity is what will save us. Act kindly.

This delivery boy must be very needy and working very hard just to make two ends meet. That's why he just broke down.
We should help such people as much as we can.
Appreciate the robbers for sparing him. It proves that apparently bad people can have good qualities.— Tariq Alvi demands ووٹ کی عزت (@TariqAlvi18) June 16, 2020
Empathy grows in uncertain places.

Well, while the guy got lucky in this case, in most situations getting robbed is one of the worst experiences. What do you think? Tell us.
