I hope that at least the things being stolen are going to people who are truly needy enough that they couldn't buy them.

Of course, I have no idea whether you're talking about essentials like clothes, or whether you mean lamps, paintings, etc. There's no excuse for stealing nonessential items--none that I can think of, anyway.

It must also be really discouraging to get donations of crap that you have to deal with. I'm not talking about things that people might really believe are sellable but aren't--but I bet you get a lot of busted appliances, shoes with holes, etc.

You're doing a wonderful thing. Thank you for the work you do.
