Guilt-Stricken Prankster Returns Toilet Paper Years After Theft

PORTALES, N.M. (November 29, 2012)—Officials at Eastern New Mexico University say a graduate who evidently felt guilty about a student prank years ago, sent a box of toilet paper to repay the school for loot taken from a dormitory.

Eastern New Mexico University says it received the yuletide gift box this week along with a Christmas card and written apology.

The box contained five packages of 16 rolls of two-ply, septic-safe tissue for a total of 80 rolls.

The anonymous writer apologized for stealing bathroom tissue years ago and said a new dedication to Christian faith led to the decision to replace it.

It was unclear whether the gift itself was a prank. But university officials said, "All is forgiven."

The toilet paper is being donating to a nearby charity because it doesn't fit the school's dispensers.
