From news report about a thief who unknowingly burgled the house of the working-class Marathi poet Narayan Surve (1926-2010) in Raigad, Maharashtra. When he realized it was the poet's house he returned most of the items and left an note of apology. Filmmakers Anjali Monteiro and K. Jayasankar filmed Surve's life in their movie Saacha (Loom).
