Money Box Stolen From Brownies Selling Girl Scout Cookies
The hunt is on Monday for thieves who stole cash from Brownies selling Girl Scouts cookies.
The two young girls set up a booth outside the Publix near Lake Frederica when a man grabbed their money box and escaped in a waiting car.
Bryanna Sura said she'll never forget the face of the man who stole $352 of her cookie money. Her mom tried to stop the thief.
"I guess the super mom thing kind of came out and I said, ' No, you didn't,' and he said 'yup,'" said one of the girl's mothers.
"That's awful," said one Publix shopper. "That's like taking candy from a 2-year-old."
Citrus Council Cookie Coordinator Barbara King said cookie money has been lifted from Girl Scouts before, but not often.
As soon as word of the theft got out, both Public employees and a Good Samaritan stepped up to donate the missing loot.
The girls had been selling cookies to raise money for a trip to the birthplace of Girl Scouts, Savannah, Ga.

If Chuck Norris was in that Brownie troop, that just would not have happened.

On a serious note:
There was something similar in Ontario last November when someone was stealing from the veterans selling the poppy pins for Remembrance Day. They ended up getting about $6000. Thankfully, they also got caught.
Stealing is one thing. But from kids?!? And from the veterans that fought for your freedom?!?

Unfortunately, freedom includes the freedom to be a dumbass.
