Donation boxes stolen
Two northwestern businesses have had their Rememberance Day poppy donations stolen in the past week.
One was at the Vanderhoof Remax Office, where they say a teen girl made off with the donation tray while the admin was away.
Another occurred at the Pleasant Valley Restaurant in Houston, where someone took the donation box while they were preparing an order.
They were unable to catch the theft on their cameras, which were being repaired, but they did make their own donation to cover the theft.
In both cases, the poppies were later found dumped nearby with the money missing.
