[quote]A man who mugged someone in New York in the 1970s has apologised to his victim after finding him on Facebook.
Michael Goodman said he stole Claude Soffel's bus pass from him outside the Museum of Natural History.
After reading a post about a bagel shop closing down Mr Goodman recognised the name of his victim and sent him a message to apologise.
Mr Soffel responded to the message and said he accepted the apology.
Writing on Facebook Mr Goodman said: "You may not remember this (about 1976 or '77) but a long long time ago... trying to look like a tough guy... I walked up to you and mugged you for your bus pass.
"I have never forgotten the incident or your name. Finally I can say I'm very sorry. So once again I'm truly sorry for taking your bus pass back then."[/quote]

This is a good man. The fact that he still remembers the guy's name after so many years is incredible.

Remembering his name probably wasn't very difficult considering he had his bus pass
Did he give it back

He got arrested so I'd have assumed the police would've returned it.

Yeah but they don't tell you too much

If only more people out there actually learned from their mistakes.
