Three teenage males who were reportedly robbing a shop were sent a heartwarming letter by a company owner.

As a result of a “party of teenagers” stealing the letter “b” off his burger sign on Sunday night, Ali Farez learned that his Haberfield shop in Sydney’s inner-west had been looted.

Mr. Farez made an emotional appeal to the three young males seen on surveillance in a message that was posted to a neighbourhood Facebook group on Monday.

The proprietor of the gas station and burger joint issued a sincere appeal to the three young guys shown on CCTV footage stealing his establishment to “please do not steal from us, as we cannot afford it.”

A gang of youngsters attempted to break into the store at the Haberfield metro station before stealing a letter off the sign that said “WORLD BURGER,” according to Mr. Faraz.

Instead of using the page to criticise or berate the criminals, the owner of the gas station and the burger joint gave the young guys some advice.

Sooner or later, you’re going to start a work in our town, my darling young men in the video, wrote Mr. Farez.

You may want to think about working for companies that are suffering right now, like us.

Mr. Farez continued by discussing his financial difficulties, saying that he “collects dollar by dollar” and hardly has enough money left over after covering business expenses for his family.

Mr. Farez wrote, “We gather one dollar at a time to pay our rent, supplies, labour, council, etc.”

If we’re fortunate, we could get some money for our family (but thus, nothing has occurred).

We cannot afford to have anything taken from us, so please do not.

It’s the second time in a month that his company has been robbed; on August 20, money is said to have been taken from his burger joint.

If everyone treats companies the way you do, there won’t be any employment possibilities for anybody, Mr. Farez wrote.

“I hope your dad gives you enough money to launch a significant project.”

But I’m sure you won’t want other people to treat you the way you treated us.

According to NSW Police, the incident has not been recorded, Daily Mail Australia said.
