German Makes Amends for 1970 Shoplifting


Thirty-six years of suffering a guilty conscience finally has proven too much for a German who shoplifted from a small store while on vacation in Norway in 1970.

Seeking to make amends, he sent a check for $375 to the small mountain town of Lom, and asked them to find the shopkeeper, Mayor Simen Bjoergen said on the town's Internet site on Thursday.
