Just a warning - we left a bag to be picked up today for charity. About 10 minutes ago (6.00ish) my partner told me that the bag had been picked up. I looked outside to see a woman (about late 30's/early 40's - long straggly dark hair) in an alley rooting out the contents and discarding stuff all over the alley. I sent my partner outside to get the bag back from her and she claimed that she 'wasn't doing no 'arm' - no harm apart from stealing from a charity and throwing a contents of a bag all over the street.


I left the bag outside all day yesterday for one charity to claim and all day today without any charity picking it up. Last week I left a bag outside all day Monday (for a different charity) without it being picked up. The bag went Wednesday - at the time I was pleased but now wonder if the contents are in a bin somewhere discarded by the charity bag thief - and there was some good stuff in it that I hoped would bring money to charity.


I guess I'll carry my bags to the charity shops from now on.


Thanks very much to this woman for making me doubt even more..........

I have seen this nutter, she was outside scope near goose green roundabout she was going through every bag and just leaving such a mess over the street. So thoughfully I pointed this out to her....just got this daft look as if she was in her own world.....so made a sarcastic comment and left....if you see her watch out for all your charity stuff.

Thats them.!

They will have your hanging baskets and even your milk.

On another note, most of the "through the door" charity bags ,are in fact not actualy what they seem. They are just profit making companies who re sell.Read the small print on these dodgy leaflets and bags.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money
