The sweet jar contains donations for a local 93-year-old lady who last week was robbed of her Xmas rent money.
The shopkeeper told us she is loved and known by everybody in the area as a seamstress, with people always knocking at her door for alterations.
Two men pretending to be there to clean gutters took her double Xmas rent money she had just collected & some extra cash….

I’d ask for proof this story is true. Scams a-plenty these days.
Unfortunately this is true Spagetti Hoop. I’ll let you have a go at guessing who the scammers are…
Sure its their culture
I don’t know about this story but my Great-Aunt was living in Marino, not far away from there. She was in her 90’s, living on her own. She had a few instances of people knocking on the door, getting told a story and then being robbed (no violence). So, it is credible.
I can confirm that this is true, unfortunately.
Unfortunately that’s another robbery waiting to happen, double whammy, maybe put something secured to the counter?
It’s like that razor blades ad. If you pick up the jar, an electronic arm will punch you in the groin
Why aren’t there any new fivers in that jar? Seems unlikely given their prevalence.
A cynical bunch, aren’t you!
good thought.
I’m more surprised that a 93-year-old is renting. Sure it’s all ahead of us!
