Spokane Thief Steals Red Kettle

Holiday cheer may have been lacking in a Spokane thief who stole a Salvation Army kettle from a bell-ringer Saturday. Randy Neely, a Salvation Army volunteer, said he was collecting donations at the Rosauer’s at 2600 East 20th St. around 4 p.m. when a man came up to him and asked if he’d ever been robbed. A short time later, another man came up to Neely acting as if he was going to donate, but instead unhooked the kettle and ran off. Neely told police the thief may have been the first man in disguise/ SR . More here.
