Theft of collection tin!

Can you believe it!?!?!?

I had a collection tin with some reindeer food at Tallin's playschool, you have to go through two secure doors including one buzzer/speaker system to get in so it can only be one of the parents. The playschool leader is fuming, bless her, and has written a stroppy note suggesting that it be returned as sneakily as it was taken. It wasn't noticed until this morning when she went to buy two for her grandchildren - she then asked me when I went to pick up Tallin if I'd taken it. I haven't.

With a positive outcome!

We've just come back from the playschool nativity. At the beginning, with a few other notices, the leader said something about the tin going missing and how sad she was. This lady is very respected, she's been doing her job for 30 years. At the end we were given refreshments and several parents came to me and handed me money, more have asked me if I will be there tomorrow to give me some then. I've come home with over £20 for the Trust in my pocket. This from people who have probably already bought some RF already.

Faith in humankind restored - it's just a shame about the few who spoil things.

What a shame! I'm afraid that there are a very few people who never get past that infantile stage of deciding they own anything that comes within their grasp.

Take care,
Richard.

Ilan has just taken Tallin to playschool and they've collected even more - over £55 in total, far exceeding what would have been collected in the tin.

Big thanks to everyone at The Citadel playschool in Kettering.
