Stolen Car Returns Overnight with Apology Note No CCTV Footage Found

Residents of Lang’ata Estate in Nairobi woke up to an unusual sight this week when a stolen car mysteriously reappeared in its original parking spot—clean, untouched, and carrying an apology note on the dashboard.

The car, a white Toyota Premio, was reported missing last Saturday evening. Its owner, a middle-aged accountant named Philip, had parked it outside his apartment after returning from a family dinner.
