FRUITLAND PARK, Fla. -- An unidentified man stole a Salvation Army kettle Tuesday in Fruitland Park, getting away with an undetermined amount of money, according to police.
It happened at the Wal-Mart on N. Citrus Boulevard around 2:30 p.m., police said.
Police said they were searching for a white man, but had no other details about the suspect's appearance.
A shade of Les Miserable... let him have the money; he must have needed it really bad.
He's probably steeling to buy booze or drugs. I'm sure he thought he needed the money really bad, but he's just hurting the people who need the money more.
Selma, 1964?
or a spell checker for his PC?
;)
He's a reluctant addict, and has to steel himself to get high.
Da*m typo's. Only happens when I post a short comment and don't proofread...or if I'm drunk. More often if I'm drunk, I tink.
LOL. No problem, I was just pulling your leg. Take care.
Maybe the guy will get caught when he sets up as a SA volunteer collecting money.
Just another episode of "How Low Will-Ya Go".
This vaguely reminds me of the report of the stolen commode from a police station and the cops had nothing to go on...
stealing happy meals from three year olds is probably easier than this -- the salvation army guys could hit you with the bell for example.
Drugs?????
May very well be the case. Most people with real phy. needs will seek help from Salvation Army or Red Cross and, in many cases church orgs.
I have seen the power that drugs have over people and, I am sure many of you have witnessed the same.
I use to criticize those with drug problems, and look down on them until I learned that it is a disease, just like cancer.
I would not condone these acts but, it doesn't change the fact that these people need help when avaible.
