Thief with disease cleans bowl he used

Meet the most benign, responsible thief ever.

A thief was arrested on Wednesday for sneaking into a village office three times a month, in Cixi xity of Zhejiang province.

But he is not that bad -- he cleaned the bowls he used for having instant noodles, because he has hepatitis B and didn't want to infect others, jinbaonet.com reported.

What he did at first was less of a crime –he just ate the workers' snacks to fill his stomach. But in later unexpected visits he began to take valuables, including cash, two cameras and a computer.
