Man says 'Eid sheep' stolen… forgives thief

A Saudi man headed for the livestock market on the first day of Eid Al Fitr and bought a sheep as most Saudis do on this occasion.

On his way back home, he stopped at a shop for about 10 minutes and when he returned he was shocked to find that his sheep was stolen.

“I paid SR1,800 (Dh1,800) for the sheep but it was pinched just minutes later…I returned to the market and bought another sheep…on this holy occasion, I forgive the thief,” the man told Okaz daily at his home in the northwestern town of Tabuk.
