Stolen Silver

| Event - When I was about 10 I would always go over to my friend's house to play. His parents were very nice and they always collected nice things. The mom sometimes wore a little silver bar around her neck on a chain. I remember it said .999 troy ounce. At the time I was just getting into collecting coins and silver ones especially. So one day when I was over there, his parents were gone and we were playing war or something, and I was alone in their room. And I saw the silver bar on the bathroom counter. Well, I took it. |
| Apology - I'm an adult and I still have it! I've thought about mailing it back, but I haven't. And would it really matter this many years later? I made a dumb mistake and didn't do that kind of thing again. Over 30 years later, I still feel guilty about it. Weird, huh? I'm sorry! |

How can you be forgiven when you have the power to return it and do not? Return it at once with an apology you need not sign. Then and only then will I forgive you, my son. |

Send it back. If you're able to return it to its rightful owner but don't, you're still doing wrong. Jerry's idea of including extra silver is awesome. |

Send it back with a note and an additional bar of silver of the same weight. Otherwise, you are being insincere and self-absorbed. |

True repentance is turning back and away from what you did wrong. Sending it back with an apology would not only bring repentance to you but a great joy into the owners life too! |

Grow a pair already! You don't sound too sorry since you still have the piece. You stole it when you were 10yrs old, but now your 40yrs old. Stop acting like a 10yr old! And don't listen to people who say the owner doesn't remember the piece. It belongs to them...not you. And you know it. Send it back and enjoy the newly grown pair. |

send it back with a sincere note of apology explaining when you took it and why you are returning it. believe me, she probably remembers it and it probably does have sentimental value. |

I think it would be great if you'd send it back. You don't even need to put your name...but it would probably mean a lot to your friend's mom. |

You were ten- children do that sometimes.
I suppose you could send it back, but I doubt they would even remember they had it.. |

I voted Unforgiven because you still have no remorse. Send it back, it may have great sentimental value. |
