Apologizing for 'a dick move' on 7th Street

Early Saturday morning, a surveillance camera spotted three men walking off with Titi's signage outside the quick-serve spot at 130 E. Seventh St., just west of Avenue A. 

Team Titi's was understandably not happy, and they posted the footage on Instagram, asking their 36,000-plus followers to help track down the sign. 

Per the post
Please help us find our custom sign. Posting this on our feed so ya'll can share and help us locate/identify these fools. These dudes are mad corny and need to do better. Custom signs cost a ton of money and are necessary to get our name and brand out there. This has a larger impact than they think. 

The outreach apparently worked. 

Sunday night at 11, the camera picked up someone — dressed inconspicuously for a nightime stroll on Seventh Street in a hoodie, sunglasses and a homemade ski mask — returning the sign.
EVG reader Drew Heffron pointed out the returned sign included a Post-it note: "So sorry. It was a dick move."
Titi's NYC Inspired Empanadas expanded here from Williamsburg, debuting back in June.

“It was a dick move” .. are these 14 year olds or grown men??? You committed a crime against a local business, and needed to be shamed online about it in order for you to return the stolen property. You would’ve been wise to say nothing at all. Pathetic.

Glad Titi’s got their sign back!

And it only took "36,000-plus followers", i.e. witnesses, to help this dick realize what a total moron he was/is. Betcha his girlfriend made him return it.
I'm not in favor doxing but in this case I might be persuaded. Too many millennials carousing nightly in our neighborhood as if it was a theme park with no rules.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. No woman would ever want to date these three.

We already saw your faces bros! What an embarrassment, they don’t even know how to spell titties. Typical manchild behavior.

I disagree, some dicks show growth.

Why should he? Yuppies should be reminded whose neighborhood they r in

I am all for the guy returning the sign, unharmed. Admit when you have done something wrong and make amends. Better than just getting rid of it. Also, the post it apology is also better than no apology at all.

Hopefully they secure it better. Glad they did the right thing.

At least they returned the sign they took which is good not like the other idiots who are cutting down the trees and stealing flowers that people have planted on the LES/EV.

My 5 year old nephew has better handwriting. Losers can't even write K properly.

That cute sign was the reason I walked into this place a few weeks ago (that and that I like a good empanada) - that sign is unique and charming, glad it was returned.
