Gem store warns thief that they stole the wrong mineral in karma-fueled public explanation letter: 'I would strongly consider throwing that... away if I were you'

This thief wasn't prepared for the "exercise in karma" that this gem shop was doling out! 

Lots of people steal little things when they're in their rebellious teenage years. They might pocket little things like pens or Chapsticks, cheap little items that the mega-mart will never notice is missing. Of course, for some people, theft is a lifelong habit that doesn't end when their teenage years do. They continue to steal from not only big chains, but from smaller shops too. And unlike a massive superstore with thousands of items and hundreds of shoppers each day, small businesses actually notice when people are pocketing the merchandise and waltzing out without paying. 

Big chains tend to have dozens of workers and managers, but some small businesses are entirely run by families. So when you steal a gemstone from a small business, you're not just being noticed by security cameras — you're directly taking money from the pockets of a Mom and Pop store who usually operate for the love of what they do. It's an unkind thing to do, and, as this gemstone shop shared in a public-facing letter to a thief, karma's going to get you! Be careful what you steal and who you steal from, or else you might end up with a jacket full of rock dust and regret.
