Quirky World: Penitent petrol station thief gets little thanks

USA: Police in Northern California say a man robbed a petrol station only to return hours later to give the money back and apologise. 

Eureka Police Sgt Steve Watson said 23-year-old Cyle Warren Abbott Jr told officers he needed cash to leave town for a fresh start, but then realised his mistake.

Watson says Abbott first entered the station demanding cash with what the clerk believed was a semi-automatic handgun.
