Someone is bound to say, "How despicable!  Imagine, stealing from the blind!" 

Why not?  Our money is as good as anybody else's.  The focus should be on how to prevent the act itself, regardless of who the potential victim is. 

In my many years as a traveler on Planet Earth, I have witnessed the shock and horror as good Christians discovered that their trusted minister or church secretary made off with their money.  A school for disturbed children in the San Juan Islands, directed by a close friend, was nearly ruined by an administrator who had the total trust of everyone involved.  He stole over two hundred thousand dollars during his five years at the head of the school. 

Cathy and I have run into many cases of care givers stealing from their blind elderly clients.  In several cases the blind person was financially ruined.  But often it was stolen items like prized family keepsakes. 

What I know is that these penny anti crooks are nothing more than CEO Wanna Bees.

Woman Faces Charges After Robbing Organization For Blind

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A woman was charged on Thursday for stealing from the American Council of the Blind in Ohio.

 

The president of the organization, Nolan Crabb, said a fully sighted person stole thousands of dollars.

 

Crabb described the group as a small, non-profit organization that is dedicated to improving the lives of the blind and visually impaired, 10TV's Andy Hirsch

reported.

 

"We have a bizarre, tragic horror in which a fully sighted individual has stolen in a cold, calculated, cynical way from people who are blind and visually

impaired," Crabb said.

 

A Delaware woman, Heidi Busic, had volunteered at the council since 2006 and was indicted for theft from the organization.

 

Investigators said that Busic started stealing from the council in April 2009 and said the crime continued through May.

 

Busic allegedly made off with more than $25,000, Hirsch reported.

 

"The American Council of the Blind of Ohio is not a group of incompetent, stupid people who will shrug this away and pretend it never happened," Crabb said.

"There will be consequences."

 

Busic was not at her Delaware home on Thursday for a comment.
