VANSBRO, Sweden, March 14 (UPI) -- Police in Vansbro, Sweden, said they received a wallet from an anonymous individual who admitted stealing the item at a party 40 years ago.
The Local said Saturday the thief told Vansbro police in an anonymous letter he stole the wallet and the $7 in cash it contained while attending the party.
The individual said he misplaced the stolen item in the years since the party and only recently located the wallet by accident.
"I have bitterly regretted what I did and the problem was that I forgot where I had put it," the anonymous thief said in the letter.
The Local said the thief also replaced the stolen funds initially found in the wallet, along with an additional $135 in compensation.
Vansbro Police Chief Lars Johansson said officers immediately attempted to locate the former owner of the wallet after receiving it from the repentant thief.
"Unfortunately he is now deceased but we will pass on the wallet and money to his relatives," Johansson said of the wallet's true owner.
