Okay, we're now a week into 2009. The holidays are officially over, and that means some people—whether rightfully or wrongfully, that can be debated—have had it with ponying up money to charity, at least for a few months. (After all, charities are the seventh pain of Christmas.) But there comes a point when post-holiday ambivalence crosses into hostility. And some people can take that hostility too far. Some people, like, this guy, whom we mentioned in yesterday's news. The unidentified man walked into an Exxon station in Phoenixville and proceeded to steal a jar that was being used to raise money in connection with Ride for Kids, a motorcyclist-based cause that supports the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. The jar had about $50 in it, and once this guy took it, he went out to his car, stashed it, and then went back into the store to make some purchases (allowing himself to be caught on the store's camera not once but twice, very smooth).
