How To Stop Thefts From Charity Donation Bags
This article is to warn people about thieves who steal charity donation bags from generous givers, who leave them outside their homes for collection.To give you an idea of the problem I have re-printed these letters from my local paper.
LETTER ONE
THE other day I was waiting at Meriden bus stop with about eight other people and saw the Lifeboat bag for collection at a house opposite the bus stop. A gentleman at the bus stop walked over picked up the bag and brought it over to the stop sat on the kerb and went through the bag showing his wife or girlfriend the clothing. She stood there laughing. The bus came and he took it with him. Everyone was aghast and we all boarded amazed. The family who donated to this charity never knew their kindness did not reach its destination. It was a despicable act. A resident

LETTER TWO
ON November 6 I put two bags of good quality clothing on my front porch, when a white van drove up and a young boy in a sweatshirt, with hood on his head, came to pick up my bag. I asked him if he was from the Lifeboat Charity, he only said 'ha' and ran off with the bags to the white van and they drove off. Now I will not put a charity bag in my front porch anymore. If I have clothing for charity now I will use the number on the bag and tell them to ring my bell for collecting. Local resident

LETTER THREE
I put a bag of clothes out last week and a man in a white van collected it. He showed an ID but it was in his inside pocket, and it is easy to get a fake one. The van has no name on it. He didn't even say thanks but hurried away. I wish now I had taken the van registration number. He had a young man in the passenger seat who I wouldn't have thought was needed. Name and address supplied
-----------------------------
As you can see by most of the letters above, these thefts are very well organised. They even cynically use under-age children,as they know they are too young to be prosecuted. It is a double tragedy because at the time of writing this article, the brave volunteers of the RNLI are busy rescuing people who have been flooded out of their homes in England`s Cumbrian Lake District.
So how can we prevent this from happening in the future.A good idea, is outlined in letter number two, who suggested to phone the number on the bag, and ask them to ring the bell for collecting.
However this does not get back the money stolen by these callous thieves.So I am asking that anyone reading this article should click on the RNLI link below and buy an item in the RNLI shop or make a small donation.

Merton's questions about the monastic life, sometimes radical and disturbing, either arose from what was happening in his own experience or reflected the extraordinary changes that followed Vatican Council II. |

Sweet Charity (DVD) $25.71 Choreographer-turned-director Bob Fosse made his feature film debut with this glitzy screen version of the hit Broadway musical. The star of the show is Charity, a warm-hearted taxi-dancer who longs to go straight by marrying a decent guy and settling down to a career as a dental technician. But her trusting nature and dangerously naive outlook on life make the dance hall girl prey for a succession of opportunistic men. Used and abused and finally jilted at the altar, Charity's innocent spirit remains uncrushed, soaring out in the film's collection of lavishly choreographed song and dance routines. Songs include Big Spender, If My Friends Could See Me Now, and Rhythm of Life.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus |
