staying true to form / CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Banker Stealing $83 From A Church's Collection Bin

[sasha031]

You know how churchs send around a collection tray or bin every Sunday? Well Reverend Charles Foss of The Episcopal Church of Our Saviour noticed that their collections were missing some money. Not all of it, just some.

He let it go for about year (he is a man of forgiveness, after all) and then finally, he reported the theft to the police. The police caught a man on hidden camera taking money out of the church's safe ($83 to be exact), and it turns out, he's a banker.

The man's name is Robert M. Yoffie and the crime report describes his despicable petty theft in delightful detail. The local Herald news out of Rock Hill, South Carolina has the story:
Suspicions arose after noticed the bags had been tampered with, according to a police report.
A hidden camera was placed in the room that houses the church's safe.

7. Some churches have the tradition as the collection plate comes around that if you are in need, you

can take out what you need.

I guess that tradition couldn't be used where there are bankers in the congregation.

11. Maybe he was just "making change." Did they check to see if he put a $100 bill in?

If he did then he actually DONATED $17. There could be a serious miscarriage of justice here.:sarcasm:
