From the STrib:
A purse containing $125, a checkbook and a Social Security card was taken from a vehicle in an open garage in the 11200 block of NW. Osage Street. The thief left behind the victim's driver's license, cash card, insurance card and car keys along with a note explaining that those items were spared because they would have been difficult to replace.

I agree with the subby at Fark who submitted this piece. That's gotta be Minnesota nice or something.
