On our news the other night there were two instances of despicable break-ins:
Someone broke into a store where a charity had piles of wrapped Christmas presents ready for Father Christmas to give to local children. The charity had been collecting gifts all year.
Not far away someone broke into a Food Bank and stole their whole supply of toilet rolls, coffee and many other items.
