Unfortunately Woody there are scumbags everywhere who have no guilt in taking what does not belong to them and even lower life forms who steal from those that need it most.

Oh dear what a shame. Unfortunately this kind of thing seems to crop up so frequently these days. Let's hope the guilty person gets suitably punished for such a lowly act.

It's a disgrace, they should really use armed forces personnel, it won't stop dishonesty completely, but it may come close. I hope he has some assets so that the money can be clawed back.

What the others said Woody, hope he or she gets what's coming, should chop their bloody thieving hands off instead of which they'll get community service. :rolling:

I have a friend who owned a builders merchant and he employed a woman from when she was 18 years old so for 26 years when on retirement found she has stolen in excess of £250.000. It broke him and his wife emotionally as they had treated her as a daughter, even taking her with them on holiday. never got the money back and she got a suspended sentence. :rolling:

Sorry to hear this Woody it seems personnel greed overcomes the needs of others far less fortunate in so many cases, the person concerned should be made to come face to face with the people they have stolen from and explain their actions and face their anger.

So sorry to hear that Vic. I worked with an ex army cook, like myself in a monastery kitchen, the monks could not complain about what you gave them to eat in their dining room, they had to eat it or leave it. This guy had me making large buffets up when he was off duty, they went away in a van, aye stolen from monks who nursed geriatric patients. The van took the food to the British Legion where he was treasurer, I was also a member. None of it was paid for and to cap it all he absconded with the legion funds. I shopped the git about the buffet carry on to the monks, good guys all of them.
I passed this guy in Scotland once going the other way, by the time I got turned he had got away. I might have given him a mouthful of dandruff, or a knuckle sandwich, if I had caught him. aye he was ex army.:thinks:
Don't let that twat put you off Vic, as everyone says you get these gits everywhere

It makes me feel sick, knowing how much effort you have put in mate, as well as money for materials & postage. If he gets caught he'll only get a smack on the hand & he'll keep the money. This country has gone bloody soft. Now me being a retired woodworker I would tickle his hands with a mash hammer, something for him to remember.

That is really bad Woody hope they catch him what makes it even worse is all your hard work for charity simply to be taken by him on a whim. I am afraid I lost my faith in humanity years ago as I worked for the Police in a Forensic mortuary for 5 years and was always surprised at the depth of depravity and twisted logic some people have and have ever since had second doubts about people I meet until I know them very well.
