A Canadian woman decided to show compassion to a purse snatcher rather than reporting him to the police.



When Tess Aboughoushe, a professional runner heard the scream, her instinct kicked in. She chased the purse-snatcher down an alley and found him hiding behind a dumpster.

However, an hour later, she was sharing coffee with him in a nearby café.

As shared online, Tess was walking on the street when she heard a woman screaming that a man stole her wallet. She saw the man running and decided to catch him.

“Just like in the movies I chased him down,” she said.

She said that the man then stopped and exclaimed, “I can’t do this anymore” while handing her the wallet.

The thief then repeatedly apologized over and said he had never done something like this before.

The man explained that he was in the area to visit a friend and was left stranded without money. He didn’t have anywhere to go and needed money to get back home.

Aboughoushe took a photo of the suspect holding the wallet and invited him to the Credo Coffee shop for coffee.

The caught man did file a police report but Tess did not press charges.
