I WAS saddened to read of yet another theft from a charity box (LT, July 30).

Regrettably, I know of several high street shops that have stopped having charity boxes because their premises have been broken into more than once.

The boxes are always stolen and then the doors needed replacing.

All this just for a measly few quid. That said, it does seem barmy to have £200 in a charity box.
