ELLENWOOD, Ga. (AP) - Officials at an Ellenwood church are repairing damage left by an apologetic robber who asked the Lord for forgiveness - but still made off with the loot.
The Rev. Roger Davis tells WSB-TV in a Tuesday story that the church was robbed of expensive equipment including microphones and a laptop containing important records. The robber broke locks and busted up the church's safe, but it was empty.
A message saying "Sorry but I'm poor. Forgive me Lord" was written on a wall after the weekend break-in.
It was the fourth time the church has been robbed in two years.
Davis joked he's considering putting up a note of his own.
He said it'll tell those thinking of robbing the church to call him instead and parishioners will take up a collection for them.
