Police find massive cache stolen from Salvation Army
TORONTO (AP) - Toronto police say they have recovered a massive cache of toys and donated goods worth about $2 million that were stolen from a Salvation Army warehouse and being sold for profit.
Police said Saturday that they had to use three tractor-trailers to haul the items, which were found a day earlier when officers searched a commercial warehouse in Brampton northwest of Toronto.
Police say they discovered 146 wooden platforms stacked with items including toys, baby cribs, strollers and food.
It's alleged that up to 100,000 items worth some $2 million were stolen from a Salvation Army warehouse in north-end Toronto over nearly two years.
The Toronto facility's executive director, David Rennie, has been fired. No criminal charges have been filed.
The Salvation Army says that it reaches 1.8 million Canadians in need every holiday season.

@starmom... Your feeble attempt to dis the very Son of God who gave his Life for you says that you are more to be pitied than not...
just because he was working for the Salvation Arm doesn't make him a Christian ... a true christian does NOT do these things...@ Starmom... you grasp at straws ...

 @Rose Hippi Sorry, dear, you don't get to say who is a "true christian" or not. If someone claims to be a Christian, then they are. It doesn't matter how bad their behavior is. Some of them think all their immorality is forgiven, and don't care how much they hurt other humans with their selfishness.

As for your remark that I am "dissing" a fictional character, lol. I pity people who are so immature emotionally that they cling to such nonsense.
Another "Good Christian" looking after the needy and vulnerable population. In the spirit of celebrating Christ's birth, this scum has been stealing for his own profit from donations given in good faith. What was stolen was not even luxuries - cribs and food? What an evil heart/soul/spirit this man has. Not that "soul or "spirit" are real things.

This is why religion must and will die. Belief in imaginary characters corrupts so many people, and is not needed to care for one's fellow human, and so often is an excuse for evil!
