A seemingly young and guilt-ridden pine cone thief decided to return his booty to its original owner - the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks - with the following and heartwarming apology letter: "To whom it may concern,' read the handwritten note. 'I took a pine cone out of the forest and I wanted to return it. I hope it will be replaced near the General Grant tree because that is where I took it. I am sorry for my decision. Thank you."
Authorities at the park were most pleased when the unidentified cone thief sent the stolen goods back to the park, so much so that they published the apology note on their Facebook page (which you can access by clicking here), together with an explanation as to why this was a good decision on the part of the cone pilferer: "Have you ever wanted to take a pine cone home from the park? It's actually against park rules to do so. Why? It's a tough environment here. The animals need their nibbles and the area needs the seeds and vegetation. Also, cones and other plants deteriorate and help to create soil in this rocky environment. Check out this note that we received from a young visitor. It isn't a pine cone - it's a Giant Sequoia cone, of course. But we are so glad this young person thought about the park's preservation messages. Thanks for leaving Sequoia and Kings Canyon Parks as you found them. And, thanks for sending this back, buddy!"
The national park, spans 404,064 acres, is located in the southern Sierra Nevada east of the San Joaquin Valley in Visalia, California, showcases pristine wilderness, mountains, canyons, wildlife, and plenty of the world's largest tree, the giant sequoia, including "The General Grant" sequoia tree which was referenced in the letter and which is the largest giant sequoia in the General Grant Grove section of the park (it is 267.4 feet tall and recently estimated to be 1,650 years old).
The reaction on Facebook, where the picture of the letter has received almost 1,400 shares and about 6,600 Likes, was extremely positive, with many commentators praising the parenting of the repentant cone thief and saying such things as "Great parenting! You are raising a good and responsible citizen!".
