Default Stealing from a charity

So we have one of those light green bins in our backyard just beside our back door where we put our empties. You may have seen them around at your office, or even have one at your house. They are then collected by various charity groups when full. Ours is collected by Child Find Alberta.

Well our bin was close to being full but my wife noticed today that the bin was gone. We found it next to the garage by the back gate. One of the low life homeless pieces of shart has snuck into our backyard and stolen the empties.

Now I don't really care about the $4.00 or $5.00 worth of empties that were stolen, I'm more pissed that some piece of shart was in my backyard and I'm really pissed that they stole not from me, but from Child Find. That is hitting a new low for this crap.

i'd really, really like to buy a pit bull (or ten) and let them roam free at night in the neighbourhood.

You just donated the empties to a different charity, is all. I think it's called The Human Fund.

Damn, I thought this thread was going to be sort of a "How-To Steal From Charities" deal. Like tips or something.

Killing missing children would really teach the people who probably didn't know they stole from Child Find.

if i was a hungry pitbull roaming the streets of S.W. Calgary, i would definitely go for the abandoned child rather than the rough skin and attitude of a bum.

Everyone knows that the people who allow their children to go missing have no excuse and should be sterilized...

Why not invite Locke and Captain Crunch over for a sleepover? Make sure they bring their stabbing implements.

Well, I certainly applaud you for wanting to steal from a hundred charities, but take it from this old charity thief, stealing from a hundred charities does alot more harm than good..........

Their deaths would be for the greater good of society. They'd be something like martyrs, or perhaps merely folk heroes.

Where do you think hobos come from? By stealing your empties they are just making sure there will be plenty to follow in their shoes (or lack of).

So when you think about it that way, they are really just thinking about the future, their concern really is for the children. Why isn't anyone but the hobos thinking of the children?

Hobos are definitely misunderstood -- those caring souls.

I suggest wiring your garage with a motion detector techno light show, such as the ones at rave clubs. Also Preferable if you can jump in with glow sticks. The loud techno music and rapid pulsating lights will disable the homeless due to seizures.

Here's an Example:

You expect the homeless guy to know that they were intended for Child Find Alberta?

Ok....
