After finding a seemingly identical coat, she noticed that the seller was from Hillsboro.

Insane story, but a very smart, observant woman...

“She [the teacher] denies stealing the coat, saying she got it from a lost-and-found,”

This teacher probably resells everything from the lost-and-found!!!!

The authorities need to look at her other auctions for sure. Maybe some other parents will be coming forward with claims against this teacher?

There is an news update to this story here with a video of her appearance in court last Friday, pleading not guilty: Link

Her supporters were wearing purple ribbons, what is up with that? Is this like a purple heart for wounded teachers?

Here is a link to the auction of the little girl's coat: Link

Logan’s salary is nearly $69,000 a year,

Finding something in lost and found does not mean it belongs to you. It is still stealing.

Our school does have an end of the year policy, for lost and found. The articles of clothing not picked up are given to a womens shelter.

We do however send out letters to the parents asking them to drop in and check lost and found before we send them off.

What kind of person buys their childrens clothes on e-bay? Is this common? Wouldn’t you want to see the coat and try it on the kid check for wear etc?
