ORANGEVALE (CBS13) – Hundreds of toys set aside for kids in need have been stolen just days before Christmas.

The toys were taken from the lobby of the Orangevale Chamber of Commerce Monday night.


 
They were donations to the Toys for Tots program.

And chamber employees have a message for the people who stole them.

“If you need help with anything, I mean the chamber is here to help. They just had to ask rather than just to take. But I hope you find it in your heart to take them to the U.S. Marine Corp and give them to the kids that need them,” said Lisa Montes of the Orangevale Chamber Of Commerce.

In the meantime, they’re looking at surveillance tapes to see if they can find a clue into who may have taken those toys.

    Californians always steal from others. I think it is a government directive there. Why should kids be exempt? What jerks!!

  • Joe Doe

    This is what happens when your awesome politicians and banks sell you out. And crash your economy and create insane job loss. Thank you world economy!

    • TexasPatriot

      So JOE DOE, it’s the politicians’ fault?! No such thing as personal responsibility anymore, right?

  • pete

    more active duty Marines participate and volunteer for Toys for Tots than the “RESERVE”

  • Rob

    Awful, but the tempatation is worse because America’s poor require “new, unwrapped toys”. The rest of the world’s poor are happy to get anything, but in the U.S. it’s new toys and a check every month.

  • TANGAIR

    Sad. Where is Orangevale and what do we do to help them out? Do they take VISA/MasterCard? Let’s get on the cam and help-out the Marines.

    Toys for Tonks. Illegal alien families line up by the hundreds at the main distribution center in my state. NEVER DONATE TO THIS ATE UP PROGRAM.

    $ for bankers but none for the poor, yet another violation of our rights. Add it to the list of gov’t violations of our right:
    They violate the 1st Amendment by placing protesters in cages, banning books like “America Deceived II” and censoring the internet.
    They violate the 2nd Amendment by confiscating guns.
    They violate the 4th and 5th Amendment by molesting airline passengers.
    They violate the entire Constitution by starting undeclared wars for foreign countries.
    Impeach Obama and sweep out the Congress, except Ron Paul.

    At my base the box is labeled Marine Corps…not reserve.

  • Dennis C. Dempsey

    I hope they(the perps) BURN IN HELL< and let the U.S.M.C. send them off!

  • mertmag

    I say let the Corps select the Marine of their choice to teach the perp a little respect. I for one will donate more to the Corps!

  • steve

    I donate money from my advertising revenue from my hobby site, Scrabble cheat

    To hear someone stole these toys is terrible.
    I thought the marines delivered the toys themselves.
    Whoever was in charge of this charity at the chamber of commerce should be fired because they are incompetent. But they will say no one was in charge.
    Then how did they expect them to be delivered. Might as well put them on the street and hope they don’t get stolen. They are idiots for not knowing this would happen..

    Ten-to-one it turns out to be some meth-head or other doper who will trade the toys to it’s slimy drug dealer so that thing can supply it with poison.

    Military coup and Martial Law: round up the pimps, pushers, pedophiles, dopers, career criminals, etc. Shackle them in boxcars for a one-way trip to the Nevada desert. 1% of the population commits 80% of the crimes. The other 99% could do without them.

    LOL Do you really think that out of the “goodness of their hearts”, they will return what they stole? LOL…Lisa, you’re an idiot! These thieves do not care about you and you and giving them a choice to return what they stole shows your weakness. LOL They will steal again because you allow it. Where are the parents?
