In Little Rock, Arkansas, two men are accused of making off with two kettles containing the day's donations plus the bells they were ringing, according to a report. It should be noted that these two men were ringing the bell at two different locations, and were being paid to do so. The Salvation Army does at times pay people minimum wage to ring the bell.
This begs the question: who would be so callous, so crass as to steal from those that would otherwise have nothing for Christmas? On so many levels this is wrong. If these two men needed the support of the Salvation Army, why don't they ask for it instead of stealing from the organization that seeks to help so many? To do so simply harms others that really need the money/food/gifts/other things that the Salvation Army provides.
It is estimated, that given the two locations that the men were servicing, that hundreds of dollars were stolen. What Grinches! I know that there is a special place in Hell for these two men. I hope they end up on Santa's naughty list and get nothing but coal and switches for Christmas.
