I saw on a news here; http://bitcoinist.com/hacker-returns-17m-worth-of-stolen-ethereum/#  how a hacker returned $17m worth of Ethereum which was stolen from CoinDash (a tool aiming to help users manage, track and analyze their crypto assets).
I have been thinking what moved him to return the coins because he wasn't tracked for the Ethereum he stole.
Guys, what's your take on this? What do you think that stirred his emotions to return the coins? Probably this could be used on other hackers to return stolen coins too.

It could be an inside job, but if it is indeed an anonymous hacker who returned the ETH, then it is certainly an act worthy of praise. Good for him/her. That being said, CoinDash certainly have an ungrateful attitude, especially considering that they've reported the address to the Counter Cyber Terrorist Unit in Israel. Is that how you reward a good deed? I think not. The only message it sends is that you wish to be fcked over harder the next time around. Shame on you.
