The city of Midvale in Utah received an apology letter and a $50 note from an anonymous man trying to repent for stealing a stop sign in his youth. In the letter, the man wrote that he took the stop sign many years ago when he was "a thoughtless teenager". The city of Midvale posted the heartwarming letter on Twitter. "I am almost ninety years old, and all these things have made me sorrow over the few things I when I was young. I wish to be forgiven by the Lord, so I am sorry, and truly repent," the letter said.
