Salvation Army Red Kettle Stolen

Goes to show that poverty is still present. Lol. That someone is as needy and poor as a rat. He probably could swallow his pride much easier now that he had done that. There are certain bounds that if we crossed, is hard to get back in to. The same happened here, someone stole a donation box from RedCross. These people's boundaries are too thin and their values are too brittle that they're able to do that.

I had a few friends tell me about that a few days ago, they live close to Milwaukee, WI. That is terrible! I feel as you, I understand how bad the economy is, but stealing a Salvation Army donation bucket?? That is absolutely the lowest a person can go. Usually you hear about how people donate thousands of dollars in those buckets. Ever year, there is always someone donating a TON of cash, putting it right into the bucket, and you always see it on the news. It is terrible that you now have to hear that someone stole the entire bucket!

It seems that every year there are more people ripping off charities that help others in the community. It is not the people who are in NEED who do this, but people in GREED. Sometimes the results are an upsurge in giving to make up for the loss, but that is a shame.

That has happened all over and it's a terrible thing for a slimeball to do. I think they made it policy, at least here, to take the kettles with them when they take their break. And they are locked with padlocks so it would be hard to get into them quickly.

This may be sad, but it is easy for me to place myself in the thief's situation. As desperate I can see where that kettle could be regarded as a gift from God rather then something to steal. Shouldn't the jkeeper of the kettle hold some responsibily here? Blessings

It does not surprise one bit. See a few years ago someone stole baby Jesus from the mainger at our church. For the life of me I can't see anyone enjoying Baby Jesus, knowing very well it is stolen. Same with any form of stealing, how can anyone enjoy stealing anything then enjoy from it. Karma comes to mind.

I feel very sorry for the Salvation Army having $450 stolen from them. The volunteer just left to have a short break meanwhile a criminal gets the money. That nasty person that stole the charity money should be ashamed of himself or herself. Some people in America are homeless and they rely on food given from charity workers. The whole seems to be in a recession. A burglar that takes from rich people that have lots of lovely times is a horrid criminal but a criminal that steals from seemed to be the lowest of the low. The homeless people are much higher in value than that such a horrid criminal.

Frankly, nothing surprises me anymore! I wonder why the guy left it when he went on break... thinking people would donate while he was gone? Yeah, like that is going to happen! He should have taken it with him or left it empty. You can't trust people anymore.

3Snuggle Bunnies things have come to a pretty pass when they steal from the salvation army for Gods sakes.Also a donation box full of a lot of money for our church was pried off the wall and broken open and that was for the churches fund for helping people out of work. thoughless people to bite the hand that helps them. by the way Garden Froce right now is being pounded with rain.it looks like a cloud burst and so noisy its just pounding down and its still going even as it looks like the sun is trying to get through. I have never seen anthing like this in twenty eight years now its getting scary. Noah's ark anyone?

It is truly a disgusting thing to do.
