Turns out the kids who hoarded pinecones during recess were rebels.

Sequoia and Roman HuberKings Canyon National Parks shared on Facebook a note explaining why the attached stolen pinecone was being returned.

To whom it may concern:

I took a pine cone out of the forest and I wanted to return it. I hope it will be placed near the General Grant tree because that is where I took it.

I am sorry for my decision.

Thank you.

The thief didn't sign the note, but based on the handwriting it might have been written by a child (with the letter-writing etiquette of a business person).

In the Facebook post, the park explains why taking pinecones (and Giant Sequoia cones, which they point out is the proper classification for the scotch-taped object) is against their rules. They write, "It's a tough environment here. The animals need their nibbles and the area needs the seeds and vegetation." 

Here's hoping this little author continues to use their guilty conscience for good.
