Who would've thought this would have ever worked? A car thief with a heart??

Ms. Bratten was shopping at Kmart in Missouri when she walked out to find her minivan was gone. Then she remembered that her phone was in the van.

According to WAFB Megan said:

"I just got angry and then I remembered that my phone was in there and I thought, let me text them a message. I used some pretty explicit words."

Megan's text went something like this:

"Hey, you just stole a single mother of five's work van. You're ruining my life here"

After three hours of texting, she sent one final text, saying:

"OMG car thief people can you just give me my van back! It would be epic, the miracle I need right now"

The thief texted her back with step-by-step directions to find the van along with this message:

"I do feel bad...my kids needed a meal on the table so that's what their dad did, got them some food. I know it's wrong but it's been so hard since I lost my job"

Megan got her van back and did not involve the police.
