In a bizarre twist of events in Cebu City, a thief returned a stolen washing machine to its owner upon discovering it was malfunctioning. The incident, reported by Decemay Padilla of DYSS Super Radyo GMA, revealed that the 21-year-old suspect, previously known to the police for similar offenses, decided to return the appliance after realizing it was inoperative.
The owner of the washing machine was surprised to see the thief, who had taken the machine around 1:00 am from Barangay Kinasang-an, returning the item because it was broken. This unexpected act of return, driven by the machine’s lack of utility rather than remorse, has caught the attention of local law enforcement and the community.
