He'd probably thought it would be easy to steal some shampoo to the owner of a store in Peru, but things went bad for this thief.
The man and his accomplice got into a store in the Peruvian city of Huancayo saying they were buying some liquor, and when the owner was distracted, they took a box of shampoo. The owner noticed what had happened and asked for help to the citizen security agents. To avoid things go any further, one of the thieves knelt down to ask for forgiveness. The lady owner was moved by this reaction and took down the complaint and the man could walk. The accomplce was also benefited although he didn't ask for forgiveness.
The guy claimed he will never again commit an act like this one.
The blog Noticias Huancayo Perú summed it up:
Se arrodilló y pidió perdón a la anciana manifestando que era la última vez que robaría. La agraviada [...] al aceptar sus súplicas del ladrón negó en denunciar el hecho.
He knelt down and begfed the old lady for forgiveness claiming it would be the last time he'd steal. The affected lady [...] while accepting the thief's pleas, refused to report the incident.
