For the fourth time in two years, a building in Ellenwood, Georgia has been broken into by desperate criminals.  However, this is the first time the robber has left behind a written plea for forgiveness after his crime.  You see, the building that keeps getting robbed is Berean Baptist Church, headed by the Rev. Roger Davis.  During the building’s most recent robbery, the criminal scribbled a note on the wall of the church reading, “Sorry but I’m poor. Forgive me Lord.”

There have been apologetic robbers before, but the most noteworthy part of this story is that the church just keeps getting robbed.  I know there’s usually money somewhere on church property thanks to the collection plate, but I never realized just how much electronic equipment there is in your average house of worship.  The person or persons who robbed Berean Baptist made off with microphones and a laptop full of church records, though the safe was empty.

I’m sure had the church not already been picked clean in other robberies, there was even more there to be purloined.
