Nice Thought.
Last week I did a job where a female in her 60s had her bag nicked and was very upset. I interviewed the suspect and sorted the job out and got the bag and contents returned.
Today I received a thank you card and a box of biscuits, which will be shared out at the station. Isn't that a nice gesture. I was very touched.

A little tip for you - if the suspect sends you a gift don't open it - it'll be a broken vinegar bottle
Joking aside, it is nice when your efforts are appreciated

I would have preferred an Islay single malt.

I'm curious, does it happen much in the normal course of things?
It's good to hear it happens at least sometimes

Four months ago I couldn't stand the smell of the stuff.
