Better luck next time

You know, it's little coincidences like this one that lead me to believe that God exists and has a pretty good sense of humor:
Three days after stealing a rare collection of coins, a thief in Germany took them to the bank for safe keeping -- and delivered them into the hands of the man he had robbed.

"I don't think the thief was expecting that," said a spokesman for police in the western city of Dortmund on Tuesday.
No, really? You don't say.
Soon after the thief made the deposit, a bank worker handling the coins recognized them as the set worth some 50,000 euros ($80,000) that had been stolen from his house.
The article does not mention how many ladders the thief ducked under, nor how many black cats he crossed paths with, on his way to the bank.
