A tipsy thief stole two mandolins from a New Jersey music store — then returned them days later with a booze-fueled note of regret after the owner launched a social media hunt to find the crook, the local business claimed online.
The alleged bandit casually dropped off the pilfered instruments at Lark Street Music in Teaneck Friday afternoon — four days after brazenly swiping them from the wall and stuffing them in his coat — with a handwritten apology: “Sorry, I been drunk, Merry Christmas,” the store’s owner shared on Facebook.
