Stolen worker captured by barbarians

It appears that if I were to steal a worker and have it captured by barbarians, when I retake the worker from the barbarians, I am prompted to either keep or return the worker.
This means that in the mid game, I can trade in one of my stolen workers (and rebuild one) for a diplomatic or influence boost.

Just something I noticed that I thought I would share.

Yep. Known, sometimes abused, although it can be hard to track which worker came from where....

EUI will tell you the original owner of the worker.

Only if you met the player the worker belonged to, yes?
