How sick is this

HEARTBROKEN toddlers were unable to hold an annual fundraiser after thieves stole hundreds of pounds of equipment from a pre-school.
Burglars forced the locks on two sheds used by Toftwood Nursery Pre-school at the back of Scout Haven in Shipdham Road during the weekend.
They made off with a mobile phone, a play parachute, a plastic tunnel, five gym mats, a cd/radio player and other items.
The theft has angered volunteers and parents at the pre-school and forced the cancellation of a sponsored obstacle course to raise money for outdoor play equipment.
Pre-school deputy supervisor Teresa Theobald said: "The parents were very annoyed, they all just thought it was senseless.
"The children were very disappointed that they were not able to do their fundraiser but we could not do it without the safety mats and the tunnel.
"It is a struggle to raise money for the group and this will cost us hundreds, as well as the lost fundraising."
PC Craig Maxwell of Dereham Police said: "It is all equipment that the playgroup desperately need.
"This group is made up of volunteers and I find it a bit off when people do something like this."
Tables were stolen from the sheds at the back of the property in the middle of December and police are appealing for the community to keep an eye out for any suspicious behaviour near the building.
Each week the group is attended by around 20 children, aged between two-and-a-half and four-years-old.
• Police believe the break-in happened between 1pm on Friday 6 November and 12.45pm on Sunday 8 November and are appealing for anyone with information to contact PC Craig Maxwell on 0845 456 4567.
• Anyone who wants to help the pre-school with fundraising should call into the pre-school during weekday mornings.

The phone might be he exception, but how much will the scrotes fetch for the rest down t'market then?
Not much i'd say so why bother? Go and rob some rich arsehole like that King of Chavs whatever his name is..
Dave.
If you own it, expect some thieving bastard to want to take it off you.
Then act accordingly.
After working in vehicle security, nothing surprises me about the lengths the scum will go to to steal absolutely f-all. In one instance, a grands-worth of damage to a Nissan Micra to take 37p in loose change and a pair of Boots sunglasses.
