Thief Tries to Rob a Wealthy Businessman and Ends Up Saving His Life – Story of the Day

Ollie roamed a bustling bistro, eyeing opportunities, when fate placed Mr. Livingstone in his path. Pretending to spill water, Ollie swiped the man’s briefcase—but before leaving, he saw him choking. Inside was an inhaler. Torn, Ollie returned it, saving the man’s life. Grateful, Mr. Livingstone invited him to his home for a discussion.

In the opulent office, Livingstone offered Ollie a job. Before he could answer, the butler, Corey, interrupted. Later, Corey approached Ollie privately, revealing a plan to rob the safe. Tempted, Ollie returned home to his ailing mother, her illness and their financial struggles pressing on him.

Days later, Ollie worked in the study and found letters from Livingstone’s son. A circled date unlocked the safe, revealing stacks of cash. Corey urged him to take it, but Ollie spotted medication identical to his mother’s—Livingstone had her illness. Conscience won; Corey stole some money and fled.

Livingstone entered moments later. Ollie braced for anger, but the man calmly said he knew everything. He had investigated Ollie before hiring him, hoping to help him conquer his kleptomania, a struggle his own late son had shared.

Livingstone explained his son’s brilliance but inability to overcome his demons. From his desk, he retrieved an envelope—his son’s inheritance. He offered it to Ollie, believing he deserved the chance his son never had.

Tears welled in Ollie’s eyes as he accepted. Livingstone asked only for a promise: to use it for a better future. Ollie vowed silently to honor the man’s faith, carrying the weight of both the gift and his redemption.
