Woman Writes Apology Note After Stealing Ketchup From New Jersey Restaurant

FORKED RIVER, N.J. (CBS) – A woman says karma is catching up to her after she stole a bottle of ketchup. The woman who snatched the ketchup from a Perkins Restaurant and Bakery in Forked River is now apologizing.

She says she took the ketchup to be "risky," but her karma quickly caught up to her a few hours later when someone crashed into her car.

"I thought it'd be 'risky.' I am as square as they come and this is the worst thing I've done. Well, a few hours [after] I did it someone crashed into my car, and since then my karma, luck, and life have been sh*t," the note read.

To the person that returned this. You are forgiven. Hope all goes better for you lesson learned.
