A very guilty person who fled a bar-restaurant without paying has finally settled their tab . . . 15 years later.<\/p>\n

And the mystery drinker who \u201cdrank a few glasses of wine\u201d with some friends at the Simposio Bar in Trento, Italy stumped up four times what they originally owed. The name of the wine-lover is not known, but they sent a letter to the establishment with \u00a326 inside (in Euros) and a lengthy note apologising for \u201cbecoming thieves\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the letter, which bar manager Andrea Bosisio posted on social media \u2013 which inevitably went viral \u2013 the person explained what happened on the night they came in, and went on to detail how they haven't returned during that time because of guilty.<\/p>\n

They wrote: \u201cOne Saturday evening 15 years ago I came to your restaurant with some friends and drank a few glasses of wine. Out of fun, we left without paying. We have wronged you and us by becoming thieves. That's why I haven't set foot in your house since that day.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday I am here to apologise to you and try to make amends for what is owed. I enclose quadruple the cost of that chalice and add a few more euros for each person in that group of friends, as a balance and a small token to also repair their mistake.<\/p>\n

"Now I will be able to return to your place with my head held high.\u201d<\/p>\n
