People steal the charity collecting boxes from shops.
I live in Plymouth & some ba5tard stole plaques from the war memorials on Plymouth Hoe. Some were recovered when he tried selling them in a scrap yard.
I would have liked some of the serving men to have been around at the time he was removing them.

People do insist on believing that criminals think like we do. That's why the judicial system is a mess.
As far as judging how "low" a theft is, stealing from a charity, car boot or war memorial is less heinous than breaking in to someone's home.

He was actually sent down for several years for sexual assault as well as the theft.
