Saturday night, during the service the church holds as the places gets mighty crowded on Sundays, the choir was to sing. As usual, the choir room is off limits to all but the choir singers, so whatever is left in there is pretty safe.
Except for last Saturday.
So, a guy, maybe 30 years old, whom is not a member comes into the building during the service and stumbles upon the open choir room! Of course, wallets, credit cards, jewelry, anything of value vanished with him. And he might have gotten away with it, except that there are cameras everywhere inside the church!
Sunday afternoon is a community dinner for the poor here, and we have a great many of them! They also can pick through clothing given during the week, sign up for a trip to the laundry mat (we have lots of quarters!) and other services we host.
A lady in line for the dinner asks why her son's pictures are on the wall ...
Once told, she whips out her cell phone, dials 911 and turns her son in!
So off to the ho-scow he goes, with all of his new found toys from the trip to the mall with stolen credit cards, now confiscated.
Yup, swift justice.
Mighty sad doings. The victim we are talking about is one of the nicest women I have met in the church. A recent widow and as poor as a church mouse! Actually the mouse might be richer because it at least has a place of its own! And she is robbed of everything she has by this guy --- so he can buy electronic toys.
That is one boy whom really needed more beatings as a child and obviously has not learned from what he did receive, so now he gets to play with the hardened criminals for a while. I am just guessing he will either come out worse than when he went in, or mighty battered ...
He needs God real bad in his life.
