Sooty and the Pink
Elephant go missing
This would normally be
a good opening line for
a funny story. Unfortunately in this
instance Sooty and the Pink Elephant are Charity collection boxes for the
Blind and NSPCC. They were stolen from
the Family Butcher in Overton on the afternoon of Wednesday, November 17
2004. Howard Jones the butcher said
that people had been very generous and both boxes were quite full. He found it very hard to understand how
somebody could steal from such worthy causes; indeed he would rather have
given the person money than have the charities go without, it is very
upsetting. Please contact the
Police if you have any
information regarding the despicable person who has stooped so low to steal
from charity. |
