We are all aware of the couple who swiped the one for Kelly Turner in a Hythe shop but I understand that over the weekend an RNLI one was lifted from Hollis Motors despite it being secured. Now today one for RAF veterans has been nicked from Nifties in the Charlton Centre.

If I counted correctly (those mentioned on Facebook) about 6 charity boxes for various charities have been stolen over the last few days, coincidence I very much doubt it.

Were the other 3 in Dover Jan? The CCTV images are very clear and as it was done in a side street in Hythe I assume the culprits hail from there, the problem could be that the awful plight of Kelly is not known there so people may not take much notice.

At the moment I can only remember The Little Kitchen and Baguette Ella, Hollis Motors, Hythe and Nifties but I am sure there were a couple more boxes but can't remember which site I saw them on.

They are going to get caught soon as more people will be on their guard, hopefully they will get a custodial sentence.

An attempted theft at La Salle Verte cafe earlier ,customers blocked the door and it was handed back ,the owner let them go as they had a kid ,and didnt want the child upset which to me is ludicrous ,These were Eastern Europeans
Apparently the Police had to come from Canterbury how daft is that

Romanians? Crime? Surely not!
You'll be telling me that Vietnamese go in for cannabis farming, Turks import Heroin, Columbians import Cocaine, Nigerians do computer scams and that Albanians are behind the people trafficking from France next or that 1 in 5 of Maximum Security Prisoners is a Mohammedan!!

No wonder the owner let them go, he probably thought of how long he was going to have to look after them until the police arrived.

The local scumbag who is on two different shop CCTV images has been named on Facebook.
I would love to name him here but I do not think it would be the right thing to do until he is charged by the police which will hopefully be very soon.

Going by his name, face and so many who seem to know him, yes.
