 PORTALES, N.M. (AP) - University officials say a New Mexico college graduate, apparently feeling guilty over a student prank years ago, has sent a box of toilet paper to repay the school for loot taken from a dormitory.

 

     Eastern New Mexico University says it received the yuletide gift box this week along with a Christmas card and written apology.

 

     The box contained five packages of 16 rolls of two-ply, septic-safe tissue for a total of 80 rolls. 

 

     The anonymous writer apologized for stealing bathroom tissue years ago and said a new dedication to Christian faith led to the deed. 

 

     It was unclear whether the gift itself was a prank. But university officials say "all is forgiven."

 

     The toilet paper is being donating to a nearby charity because it doesn't fit the school's dispensers.

     BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - A Connecticut real estate agent has been charged with stealing a competitor's for sale signs from the front lawns of area homes.

 

     Police say 54-year-old Robert Toth, of Shelton, was charged Wednesday with third-degree larceny and first-degree criminal trespass. Toth owns American Home Realty in Trumbull. 

 

     Police say U.S. Asset Realty owner Jihad Shaheer complained in September that his signs had been stolen from more than a half-dozen sites in Bridgeport and from the front of two homes in Stratford.

 

     Police tell the Connecticut Post that they later determined that Toth had been taking the signs. Toth had worked for Shaheer before opening his own real estate company. 

 

     Toth declined to comment.
