THE theft of a collecting tin to help buy little meningitis victim Charlotte Nott new prosthetic limbs is a new low.
The tin was for donations for Martin Scarrott’s Christmas lights in North Way Road and was chained up.
There is no defence, no matter how risible, from the thief and thankfully he or she dumped the tin without being able to steal the contents.
Given the cause Mr Scarrott was fundraising for, we can only hope the thief gets their collar felt soon – and none too gently.
