Grinches in Norfolk?



I am not even sure that The Grinch would go this far. It seems that this past Friday, two men stole a Salvation Army change kettle from a Walmart on Tidewater Drive in Norfolk. Can you believe it?


Read the news article from the Virginian Pilot. What do you think? Does it bother you that money supposedly going to a charity, was stolen? Do you wonder how much money was stolen ? Do you think they will give it back?


I am interested in your opinion! So make sure you read the article.

I don't think the Grinch would go this far either. I think that stealing money that goes to charity is uncalled-for. It bothers me that the bucket is stolen. I don't think those stealers will be nice enough to give everything back, since they took their time out to take the bucket in the first place.

This is too far. The Salvation Army worker was even blind. I cannot believe that anyone would go so far as to rob a blind Salvation Army worker.

Unknown said...

I'm so disgusited by the fact people get an idea like that. I hope that they will get it back but most likey not. They Should go to jail because that money was going to people who need it.

Unknown said...

Oh my gosh that is so trifling. People need that money for their food because they cant afford it. It might of been like over 100 dollars in there. I dont think they will give it back.

Unknown said...

No it don't bother me. Just as long as it goes to a good cause. Because I am a good person.

ernie said...

I know for a fact the Grinch would not go this far. The thieves will not give back the money. Them guys should be executed for doing such a crime.

Leon said...

I really don't think the Grinch would do something like that. Stealing money from a charity is not right. Who ever did this must be a really bad person.

Unknown said...

It really makes me mad that heartless people would steal money from a charity like that. I think that the only way they are going to give that money back is if they get caught. The Grinch wouldn't have done that.

Unknown said...

Stealing is very bad, especially from a charity. The charity raises money for people in need so i dont know why someone would want to steal from one. I hope they catch him and lock him up.

Unknown said...

It bothers me to hear that two men stole money from the Salvation Army kettle. I'm thinking that it was about 700 dollars in there. I dont think they will give the money back.

Man the Grinch got a bigger heart now so he wouldn't do something like that.if he did karma is going to give him a good one.I mean even if he had a small heart like he did before he still wouldn't do that,maybe the wind blew it out.

jaran b said...

Even the Grinch would not go this far during the holidays. I think the guys that stole the money are real low-lifes to take from the Salvation Army. I don't think those guys even have hearts to take from the people who really needed that money.

I can’t believe that somebody would steal charity money. That is so wrong. I hear the man that was doing the charity was blind but I don’t know if it’s true or not. I hope they find the money and arrest the person who stole it

Raheim said...

I don’t think the Grinch would go this far. People need that money for food. Stealing from a charity is very bad. Their raise all of the money on their own. And they should find another way to get money.

Jerry said...

I don't think that the Grinch would go that far. It deeply bothers me because the money is for charity. I do wonder how much money was stolen. I doubt that the criminals will give the money back or they wouldn't have stolen it.

Makayla said...

I am astonished that people would do that. Why steal from the needy? I know the economy is in bad shape, but that doesn't give anyone the reason to steal from the needy. It bothers me and I know that it bothers others who did this ignorant crime. I know that whoever did this is hurting deep down in their soul and wishing that they could return it. I'm not really concerned with how much was stolen. What I'm concerned about is if and will the people return it.

Austin said...

This bothers me because this was for charity and all the unfortunate people. It doesn’t matter how much money was sto-len, all of it was for charity and which could’ve bought goods for the unfortunates. No, I don’t think they will give it back because they are already gotten away with it why would they give it back.

Jessica said...

I can’t believe someone stole the money. That is so hateful! Those families and kids will now not get as much of a Christmas as they could have. People from all around, give their money to the kids, and now that might even change their mind because they don’t want it to be stolen. I doubt they will give it back, because they probably didn’t even need the money. They probably already bout a stupid electronic or something with the money.

rj said...

I don't think its right to steal. I hope they will get it back but most likely they not. They should go to jail because that money was going to people who need it.

cass said...

This does bother me. Because it is supposed to go to a good cause, but it is stolen. All of the people that put money in, were all robbed, and that’s wrong.

Will said...

I believe this is extremely wrong. It is unbelievable somebody would steal money people worked hard to earn and went out of their way to donate to charity. Not only are these thieves stealing from the people who donated the money, they are stealing from the children it would have gone to.

Nicholas Miles said...

These men went way to far. This money could have been used for needy people. The men who needed the money could of gotten a job if they needed it. And they also stole from a blind man. How low can some people go? Really low with these two men.

I don't think the Grinch would do that. Stealing money that goes to a charity is wrong. it borthers me that someone took the bucket. I dont think they will give the money back.

Travis said...

I don’t know why people steal. They just steal to get more stuff. This would go too far also.

chris bullis said...

I don’t think the Grinch would go this far. My opinion is I think they should catch them and let them spend a couple nights in jail for stealing from a charity. It’s uncalled for and they should make them pay back all the money they stole.

It bothers me that the bucket is stolen. I don't think those stealers will be nice enough to give everything back, since they took their time out to take the bucket in the first place.

alisareale said...

I think that was a very mean thing to do. Yes it does bother me, because the money was going to be used for a good cause, but now it is stolen, and no telling what they did with it. I do wonder how much money was stolen I hope that the guys didn't get that much money. No I don't think they are going to give it back.

Unknown said...

Hearing news stories like this puts me in a bad mood. I don't understand why anyone would steal money, especially when it's for a wonderful cause this close to Winter Holidays. I hope these people get caught and have to pay for their crime.

mark said...

This is very sad that someone would steal money from a charity. I think this is just horrible. I dont think they will give the money back.

Anonymous said...

It does bother me that the money was stolen because it is a terrible thing. I myself do not think much money was stolen because, I know this sounds bad but, not that many people are willing to give money to charity in this day and time. The thieves most likely will not give the money back because a thief usually does not.

Chris Stepp said...

It does bother me that the charity was stolen, but you have to give them the benefit of the doubt. Their family could be starving to death and they needed the money. I agree they could of stole it from somewhere else but maybe they are insane or something.

liz said...

I think that this is deffinatly worst than the Grinch. The money was stolen was from a charity. It wasn't rightfully his. Christmas is a time of giving, and it's really upsetting to hear about this story.

Holly said...

That makes me really mad that somebody would actually go that far to steal money from charity. I think they stole about 100 dollars or so. The only way they would probably get it back is if they caught the people that did it. I don't think the Grinch would go that far.

Unknown said...

I am completely and utterly disgusted! Honestly, whoever would do this should go to jail. Just because they might be short on money, doesn't mean you steal from a CHARITY. WHO DOES THAT?! This is outrageous. If they had the time to plot this out, they should have the time to put the money back that they stole, and I don't mean just lets say $100, they should double or triple it= $200-$300... just sayin'.

Unknown said...

I'm pretty sure that the Grinch wouldn't even sink that low. I think that anyone to steal money is just trifling but for someone to steal money that is suppose to be going to charity, now that's just down right selfish. I feel really bad for The Salvation Army. I really hope the money is returned but it most likely wont be, the person who did it should definitely be found

Audrey said...

I think they went too far. They shouldn't of stole the money. I hope they give it back.

Novas said...

I don't think the Grinch would dig this low. It bothers me that someone would steal from a good charity. It really does not matter how much money it was. I do not think they will give it back.

Madi McFarland said...

It really does bother me that someone would go this far to steal from something that was helping other people. I realize that it's the holiday time and a lot of people don't have jobs but they shouldn't steal from a charity. I really don't think that the person will return the money.

Lekedria said...

I think that this is really bad. Because the money was for the needy. Who would even steal from the poor? This is just tragic!

Unknown said...

This is wrong. They stole from a charity. Hope they get caught.

justin said...

First of all who would rob from a charity? Anyone who has the guts to steal from people who need that money are just ignorant. I think that is one of the worst things you could do.
