The debt is repaid
Tony Collins (left) hands back the car to Michael Youens

A Debt Repaid

Listen to the item

When Tony Collins was a schoolboy in Tottenham, North London he acquired a car by other than the conventional means of buying one. To put this in perspective,Tony,who lives now in Cornwall, stole a toy car from a friend and the irregular acquisition of it haunted him for decades. He finally purged his guilt by buying a replacement car and presenting it to the boy, now man, from whom he nicked the car.
