    But that's people for you in this day and age.

    Like myswlf I gave quite a lot of stuff to the svp yesterday from me and my girlfirend all our on wonted gifts. Then I gave huge bag of designer clothes 3 weeks ago.

    People still call you a lier and have a need to insult you over it......

    Svp is something I support my mother works in one of my local shops back home a few days a week to give back something to the local area. I won't to do the same I get attacked over it.

    So basically if you steal you are bad and if you give you are also as bad...

    How did Facebook know about a SVP donation?

    I suppose SVP just want to make sure they are not accepting stolen goods, which is good.

    Dyslexia aside, what are you on about/what is this to do in relation to the op which is about stealing from a hospital.

    Why do people on Facebook even know or care about what you do or don't donate to svp???

    People have been disparaging his donations.
    It's hard when people do t understand you and it's hard when people who are robbing get more respect than people who do nice things but are complicated.

    Stealing from sick kids is low.


    14 items in the space of 16 months actually doesn't seem that high to me from a place that sadly would have a huge turnover of kids and visitors.

    How many were toys just taken home by kids who got attached to them while in the hospital I would hope it's more along those lines.

    Ye FFS.

    There was a whole kids ambulance robbed last year and the Gardai were called in as well.

    That turned out to be a publicity stunt.

    The Bumbleance at the ploughing championships even boards posters raised money to replace things that were supposed to be stolen from it.
    Charity founder Liam Heffernan had claimed that the ambulance, known as the “Bumbleance”, was targeted and up to €800 worth of equipment was taken.

    Widespread media coverage of the theft resulted in much public sympathy and an estimated €40,000 in donations to the charity.

    Then
    A former director of a children’s charity has claimed CCTV footage he has given to gardaí will contradict a claim by the charity’s founder that a theft took place from its ambulance at last year’s National Ploughing Championships.

    Once upon a time, many years ago, I worked in Crumlin hospital.
    I can vouch for the frequency of items being stolen.

    Ranging from packets of nappies that the thieves were "entitled" to take, to an expensive watch stolen from a consultant's coat by the yoke of a parent of the critically ill infant, whose life the doctor was saving in the cubicle.

    It takes a lot to shock me nowadays as a result of what I saw while there.

    I worked in a children's hospital years ago and it was the same story. Often electronic thermometers and monitors were taken by parents. The thermometers are designed to stop working after you remove them from the hospital, presumably in the hope that one day word will get around the scum community that there's no point stealing those thermometers as they'll never work.

    People nick strange things from wards.

    Tympanic thermometers are something that often goes missing, which is very irritating when you need to go do your observation rounds and there's maybe one thermometer (At one point in the distant past there was one for each cubicle) to go round.

    Another time someone stole all the rice puddings for patients out of the fridge
