SALEM – A boy in fourth grade whostole a hazelnut and pen during a tour of Oregon’s Capitol Building was pardoned by the governor after sending her a handwritten apology letter.
“Dear Governor Brown,” Samuel Revenko wrote in the letter to Gov. Kate Brown. “While we were there I took a hazelnut and a pen from the Capitol Building. These things were not mine and it was wrong for me to take them. I’m very sorry.”
Revenko completed the heist during a classroom tour to the Capitol Building on April 19, reports Fox News.

“I hope you and the people of Oregon can forgive me,” Revenko wrote.
Brown was so touched by the apology that she posted the note on Facebook on Thursday. The governor wrote a return note, accepting Revenko’s apology and pardoning him for the crime.
“Thank you for your note of apology. On behalf of the people of Oregon, I accept your apology and forgive you,” Brown said.
“Oregon is a special place. I hope we can work together to keep it that way,” she added.
As a final gesture of appreciation for Revenko apologizing, Brown sent the boy his own pen to keep.
“I hope the pen coming your way will be an adequate memento of your visit at the Capitol. Come back soon!” Brown wrote.
There would be a huge police investigation over this ‘crime’ in our country. Social workers questioning the suitability of his parents. Counsellors analysing the significance of the items taken………. Or am I just that way out today? 😉

The kid is nine years old and stole from the state capitol? What will he do when he’s older? Don’t schools teach penmanship now?
