A railway pickpocket who snatched a bag with a notebook computer returned a diploma to the victim out of good conscience.

The recent graduate was saying goodbye to his classmates on Thursday at a railway station in Dalian, Liaoning province, when the thief took the cash and computer. He returned the diploma and other personal papers to a waiting room from which he got them.

After police arrested him, he argued that he was a conscionable person who deserved leniency.
