LUBBOCK,
Texas — About $3,000 worth of jewelry and art
works stolen from a Lubbock gallery have been returned after the
thief apparently had a change of heart and left the loot at a
church.
Tornado Gallery owners Tony Greer and Larry Simmons were
contacted Monday by a representative of Templo Nazaret United
Methodist Church.
Two large boxes of items, discovered missing on Sept. 30, had
been left at the church. An anonymous note accompanied the boxes,
read: "Please return these items to the Tornado Gallery." The note
included the gallery's phone number.
Simmons said the return of the items renews his faith in
humankind.
