The Victim's Story

Apology Note from the Thieves
In their note, the thieves wrote, 'This belongs to Dinesh Tiwari. We learned about you from an outsider. We only knew the person who provided the location, and we thought you were not an ordinary person. However, upon realizing the truth, we felt very sorry. Therefore, we are returning your belongings. Our mistake was due to incorrect information.'
