Scum of the earth

[Jacqui Harvey]

I value for the local Cancer Research Shop.  I was just in there and told they had yet another break-in. Break-ins always seem to happen on a Sunday evening.
Someone crow-barred the back door and tried a key in the safe which broke in the lock, so they could did not get access to the money.   There was £75.00 in the safe and it's now going to cost £300.00 to open the safe and fix the lock.  Unfortunately, the shop cannot get insurance
The last time I was in the shop, I watched a smartly dressed man take a shirt from the hanger and put it into a carrier bag and calmly walk out. I rushed to the counter to tell the Staff, who are mostly elderly ladies, they told me they are warned not to get involved with thieves, as they could get hurt.  
So Charity shops are easy marks for the scum that want to rob them.  It makes me so mad. :-\

Disgraceful. Often see people raking through bags left on charity shop doorsteps when theyre shut and helping themselves!

As an update to this story, it's great to read that a man walked into a Cancer Research Shop in Glasgow handed over an envelope and left. The envelope contained £20,000.  How great was that?
I am so pleased for them. This news has given the ladies in my local shop a real boost.  Just shows there are still some very generous people in the world. Go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-11465084

How poor do you have to be to rob from a charity shop? Most often it's not the poorest people who do this sort of thing, but the greedy opportunists.I am a true believer in karma...what goes around comes around and one day their deed will come back and bite them on their backside!
