Green Bay -
Green Bay Police and the leader of St. Vincent de Paul are shaking their heads in disbelief after seeing video capturing people they say are stealing from the poor.

Click here for surveillance video from St. Vincent de Paul in Green Bay, a Christian charity whose mission is to help those in need.

It shows a woman, man, and two children in a large SUV pull up to the donation drop-off area at night.

They're not leaving donations. Green Bay police say they're taking them.

Assholes.

1. I hope they needed what they took, and got what they needed.

2. instant garage sale at their home next week!! you betcha

if it was some homeless person looking for shoes or something but filling up a truck bed is greedy and sick scammers
Saw a plate on one and it is theft
wonder if cops pursued
These people are smart enuf to maybe know that before it gets inside the donation counter it is not perhaps SVDP's property........
I do not know how that works but it suxks and SVDP is a great org / thrift shop that helps many folks

3. Almost sounds like a money making scheme out of Trailer Park Boys

4. It looks like they have the plates

And all the cars are somewhat new, and gas hogs. Garage sale or crigslist is where they will probably find these items. And how embarrassing for those kids. Can you imagine being in that video, and kids at school know who you are, and you're only doing what your mother told you, or else, possibly.

5. One of them looked like Paul Ryan to me

with the backward baseball cap.

9. He rolls like that sometimes! It's Wisc and he delights in stealing from the poor...........

Constituent service for his nasty voters?
Could be him you are right

6. Gray area

Stuff someone didn't want anymore was left outside the donation drop off.
Nobody actually owns that stuff at that point.

The person who donated the stuff didn't just take it to the dump or throw it away, which is great. Presumably the people who scavenged through it hoped to find something they needed and save a little money by not having to shop for the stuff. It's still earth-friendly.

7. There is a clothing donation dropbox

but whenever I have clothing and shoes to donate, I choose to put the bag just outside of the box. If someone comes by and needs some clothes or shoes and really can't afford thriftstore prices, they can help themselves.

8. I worked for a major charity

and the PTB would let their friends go through the donated toys (brand new) to do their Christmas shopping and then distribute whatever was left.

(Among the donated items were 2 cases of the book "Christmas with Kathy Lee!" which was not a big seller right after the whole slave labor story broke. Apparently the real Christmas with Kathy Lee Gifford went something like this: "Merry Christmas children...now get BACK to your sewing machines!&quot

10. whoa. Glad they show their faces

11. my aunt used to go into the donation drop off shed and pick out whatever she felt like. she is

a selfish asshole who could afford anything. People who are hard off, I would not begrudge, but her I would.

12. some people get off on taking / grabbing whatever is a thrill

The grabbing hands grab all they can
all for themselves after all
everything counts in large amounts....

[bettyellen]

13. she is a scam artist at heart, not a thrill seeker. just an asshole.

[lunasun]

14. sounds like a greedy asshole at that

[bettyellen]

15. she is a total sociopath, I have never seen someone lie with such frequency and ease!

[lunasun]

16. An archetype of most republican politicians

greedy asshole /sociopath/ lies with ease

[bettyellen]

17. true! rare to see it in 80 year old housewives, but it happens!
