A Texas pizzeria’s unfortunate petty theft incident inadvertently uncovered another victim with its good-humored viral social media post.

Stone Oven Pizza in Wichita Falls took to Facebook when its tip jar money was stolen and offered up an auction to replace employees’ missing dollars.

The teenagers accused in the act left behind a cowboy hat, so the restaurant owners decided it would only be fitting to use the misplaced hat and recoup the proceeds.

“While the owners of Stone Oven were prepared to meet this man in mutual combat to defend the wages of our team… It was the team members themselves that decided this man’s head was indeed looking cold… we will be returning the property to its’ rightful owner… do not worry the employees have been given $50 bonuses for altruism and compassion,” the update said, in part.

The restaurant then went on to boast that they were proud of their town and the support they received following the theft.
