A restaurant owner in the United States is winning hearts on the internet after he offered a job to a thief who broke into his restaurant and stole money.
Carl Wallace, the owner of Diablo’s Southwest Grill restaurant in Augusta, Georgia, walked into his restaurant and was surprised to see the broken glass of the front door. He realised that his restaurant had been robbed and posted pictures of the broken restaurant door and the thief stealing a bag of cash.
While Carl was initially very angry over what happened, he later changed his heart and decided to offer a job to the thief.

“To the would-be robber who is clearly struggling with life decisions or having money issues…please swing by for a job application. There are better opportunities out there than this path you’ve chosen,” wrote Carl on social media.
“No police, no questions. Let’s sit down and talk about how we could help you and fix the road you’re on. Sincerely Carl,” he added.
Wallace’s Facebook post went viral and many praised his act, saying that this comes at a time when the restaurant industry has been hit by the COVID-19 pandemic and many have had to shut their business.
