South Carolina restaurant owner forgives man who returns Santa statue he drunkenly stole: 'Wasn't thinking'
Fox News
The owner of a restaurant in Greenville, South Carolina, said she would not press charges against a man who returned a Santa statue he stole after getting drunk the night before.
Melvin, whose Santa-snatching was caught on the restaurant's surveillance footage, apologetically returned to Bonjour Main both with the pilfered Santa and some flowers, and he willingly sat down for an interview with the local outlet.

"I’m sorry, really sorry," Melvin said. "I know saying sorry doesn’t do anything, but I promise I’ll do better."
Local reporter Henry Coburn, who was covering the story, said Melvin showed up at the restaurant while he was on the scene.
