Why is it that people feel compelled to steal money from the community? It's real peachy that they steal from non-profit things like the historical society, cemetary association, and other community sponsored/ran/organized groups. It makes me sick! We need to start nailing these people hard, regardless of any prior record or lack there of. They need to be forced to serve their communities for free to pay back what they took.
