From Yahoo News:

A British burglar who stumbled on a work of art that he mistook for a human head in a pickle jar was so spooked that he summoned the police to a house he had robbed.

The article ends:

Morrison said the police told him the scare had set the burglar on the straight and narrow. “He had a crisis of confidence and confessed his crimes to his mother.”

There. Proof that art is redemptive. Even art that looks like a human head in a pickle jar. Perhaps especially art that looks like a human head in a pickle jar.
