The Port St Mary lifeboat volunteer whose RNLI collection was stolen says he has no hard feelings towards the thief, after the money was returned.
An envelope containing £600 was taken from an unlocked van in the village on Monday. But the cash was returned anonymously at the weekend - in the same envelope.
Seconde coxswain Michel Kneale had asked family and friends to make a donation to the RNLI in lieu of presents for his 60th birthday.
The fund is now much bigger than before the theft, after guests upset at the loss made a second donation.
And Castletown-based data firm Domicilium also made a donation to help replace the stolen money, which the RNLI can keep.
Michael says the thief has a conscience and has put things right:
