La Paz, Mexico - A couple who participated in the looting during the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Odile returned to the Costco in Los Cabos to pay for the goods they had stolen.

Foreigners Cristina Frie and Dirk Meyer were among those who helped themselves to goods in the store on September 17th. The couple apparently realized the error of their ways when a video began circulating online where the two could clearly be seen in the act of looting the store.

Some of the items the couple plundered included a kayak and a flat-screen television. On Wednesday they delivered receipts for two bank deposits they had made to cover the cost of the stolen goods, a total of around $2400.

According to a post on their facebook page, the couple felt they had "underestimated the power of the social media, and so decided to make amends for their error in judgement."

It’s not known if the Justice Department has opened a preliminary investigation into the case or if Costco has pardoned the two for their actions.

Meanwhile, the State Attorney General reports that it has recovered 4,804 articles that were stolen from area department stores after the hurricane. Some of the items were found at vehicular checkpoints set up by police outside the city of La Paz. Authorities inspected 44,041 vehicles and 109,196 people, seventy-five of which were detained for "theft during a time of disaster or public disorder."
