    Story

    Please help restore this Great- Grandmothers faith in humanity!

    A burglar broke into her home and stole Christmas money - just a day after she was diagnosed with cancer on Tuesday, November 16.

    She wrote an open letter to the burglar, (attached), saying:

    "Dear Burglar,
    Thanks for making this week one of the worst weeks of my life.
    I had just been told I had an inoperable cancer and I had been to my daughter-in-law’s for an evening meal and came home to find my house had been burgled.
    You stole my Christmas money, vandalised my rooms and broke my doors.
    I am 81-years of age and live on my own and you have stolen my confidence and my trust in people.
    I hope you have a good reason for stealing people’s money and hope it has done somebody some good, not just purely for greed.
    I hope you have some conscience and one day feel some regret for what you’ve done.
    Ps. I would like to say how prompt and sympathetic the police were, especially Pc (Greg) Rawisinski.(CORR)
    The police get lots of brickbats, so it’s nice to give some praise. "

    Let's help restore Ms Weston's faith in humanity by surprising her!

      My prayers are with this lovely lady... let's hope whoever caused this sadness will be punished. They have to live with what they have done to an innocent lady.
