Apologetic burglar gives $200 to New Mexico homeowners after breaking in

The burglar even shared his story, telling the couple he was being chased and that his family had been killed in east Texas

The owners of a New Mexico home were doubly surprised over the weekend to find a burglar in their house with an AR-15, and then to have him apologize, give them money and leave embarrassed.

The man had slept, bathed, dined and had some beer at the home on the outskirts of Santa Fe before the owners returned and discovered him, according to a Santa Fe county sheriff's office police report cited by the Albuquerque Journal.
