Aug. 6 (UPI) -- A California book store recently received a package that turned out to contain a book that was stolen 40 years earlier, along with an apology note and $100.
Booklegger in Old Town Eureka said on social media that a package arrived recently and employees opened it to discover a copy of The Unstrung Harp by Edward Gorey.
A note included in the package explained the book had been stolen from the store about 40 years earlier.
"I was a student at HSU with a horrible drug and alcohol problem," the note's author wrote. "I was in desperate need of money, but even more desperately needed a spiritual awakening in my life. I was eventually blessed with just such a psychic change."
The person explained the book had recently been rediscovered in a box in their garage.
