'Sorry but I'm poor'

Ellenwood, Georgia: Someone made off with loot from a church but also left behind an apology.

A note scrawled on the wall said: "Sorry but I'm poor. Forgive me Lord."

The Rev Roger Davis said that expensive equipment including microphones and a laptop containing important records were stolen over the weekend from Berean Baptist Church. The burglar broke locks and the church's safe, but it was empty.

Davis joked he's considering putting up a note of his own telling potential robbers to call him instead and the church will take up a collection for them.
