Carlito/ I kind of understand what you're saying, but could you explain in more detail? Thanks!

Maybe they were mad that they were bilked for money by not telling the owners their pet was their until the bill was outrageous Been there and holding the dog when it was to be released as to RCHD saying it was and again an added cost. I to hope they catch the burglers yet I have problem with the above mentioned issue and it needs to change.

I can't help but wonder what business these morons will hit next...ECHO....GOODWILL...ST. VINCENT DEPAUL????

...and by the way, if you happen to see or hear of any kids (most likely high school age to early 20s) in possession of or selling an inordinate number of newport box kings and 100s cigarettes, single cigarellos (white owl and swisher brands, regular and flavored), phillies cigars, or rolling papers (zig zag brand white and orange packaging) please let me know...especially if one of them is wearing a very distinct Metal Mulisha hat with the skull logo front left of center, a plain brim, and a star pattern on the rest of the hat. Also, I'm offering a reward for the return of my Zig Zag dispenser. If you have any information on any of this call the police at 755-3100.

I am the person that said the quote the police gave to the newspaper about our camera system was inaccurate. Its new. It doesn't need to be upgraded. A number of the cameras are even infrared, but it doesn't really matter when their faces are covered. Not to mention they were only on camera a very short time before the alarm went off. Saying things like that makes us even more of a target to these idiots than we already are. Due to our alarm, they don't have an opportunity to get much, but they still cause a lot of expensive property damage in the process or trying. I will blame both the officer for saying it, and the gazette for printing it. It would have been much better for all involved to tell the newspaper that the suspects faces were covered than to blame the fact that they can't see them well enough on the camera. We could see them well enough to know that their faces were covered. I can guarantee you the people that commit these kinds of crimes are morons. There is no common sense with these types of criminals, and the police deal with them every day so should know better that to put that kind of information out there. The Gazette should have enough common sense not to print it. Printing the dollar amount will make a location a target. It won't matter if the place makes changes, that information is out there and these idiots will assume there is something to be gained by breaking in, or worse yet, showing up while they're open and robbing the place. It does not benefit the community to know how much money was stolen, it only puts more people and businesses at risk.

Li17/ Don't blame the police for what's put in the newspaper article, it's the reporter and editor's choice to print it. I say good for them, it will incite change on the part of these businesses. The RCHS should not have that much money sitting overnight unsecured in a accessible place, they need to change their procedures. As far as the grainy camera images, an employee said they were not grainy. If they are, the business needs to replace them.

theone"Where are these same people when crimes are committed against people?"


Those comments are always SHUT DOWN!!

Here's an even better question....why would the JPD, and then the gazette broadcast that the humane society had that much money on hand? Way to make them a target for future criminals. Why is it absolutely necessary to print the amount taken? Wouldn't it be sufficient to just say there were cash and checks stolen? There is just no common sense anywhere! Of course these are the same geniuses that gave and printed a quote saying that the cameras at the BP station that was burglarized were grainy and basically worthless, which isn't even accurate since the video was clear enough to see some distinctive clothing and that they had their faces covered. The things the police say and the gazette prints about these types of crimes are just setting places up to be targets.

They should have a viscous shar pei running loose in the building as a guard dog.

Why would any business have 2 grand laying around after hours ? Most businesses make deposits or put funds in a safe. Sounds fishy to me,I bet we will be surprised to see who did this. Just sayin

Rut Row. Scooby Dooby Do and Scrappy too will be on the case.

I hope they catch the crook and lock 'em up in a kennel!

The article says cash or checks. Adoption fees for pets aren't cheap: http://www.rockcountyhumanesociety.com/a...

If the Humane Society had several adoptions and performed services such as microchipping during the day, it wouldn't be surprising that they might have $2000 in cash and especially checks at the end of the day.

SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sad thing is.. I cannot help to think it was probably an employee who obviously knew where to find cash at a place begging for donations! They bring people in there on work release from jail still? They did in the past.

Someone that would stoop that low and has no regard for the animals that need the money for food. I hope they catch you and lock you up and throw away the keys.

Unless you have a large, heavy, steel safe to put that $2000 in overnight, it should have been deposited at the bank during the day. Basic Business Policy 101.

Crimes are usually of opportunity..not of class.

I think it has more to do with the fact that it's a type of charity. I'd get just as upset if someone robbed a food pantry. Robbing anyone is bad, but there is an even lower level to stoop.

Here we go again. I condemn any such crime...but this brings out the animal lovers, as it should be. But, this crime was not against the animals.

Where are these same people when crimes are committed against people?

Just wonderin'.

McGruff will solve this one.

I am with frogger on this one too. If not someone who has knowlege of the inner workings of the RCH why would anyone bother to rob them? I may be no rocket scientist, but heck I would NEVER expect $2000 be sitting in the RCH...I would have thought some other business or even a home would be more worth while to rob.

Seriously? Have things gotten that bad. I'm no CSI, but this has to be an inside job. Someone who used to or currently works (or related) there would be the only ones to know this much cash was on hand. There would be no other good reason to rob the Humane Society unless someone had knowledge of the cash on hand.

They could have rescued an animal while they were in there!

frogger, you are soooo right. Good one.

the animals were safe, they weren't in Milton.

baegucb -- too funny

Oddly enough, today I saw a large lizard, wearing a "ghetto fab" wig in that area. Coincidence?

Sounds like someone who needs running down with a sanitation truck!

Yes why so much cash on hand. Did they sell 20 cats in one day?

Yea they will catch him, put up the photo, and we make nasty remarks about being a loser and comments will be taken down.

The K-Mart cops are out in force.

Why would they have 2,000 dollars in the building. I would check the staff, this sounds very suspicious as to how would anyone known that they carry that much money. I bet it was a inside job!

I'm with badgerlover. NEVER would have thought there was that much cash there, and, I don't think anyone would, except someone that worked there....

I would have never guessed in a million years that the Humane Society would keep that amount of money around. Sounds a little fishy and may involve someone on the inside.

Dang catburglers

I hope the catch the person and plaster their mug shot all over so we can all see what a LOSER this person is!!!

Freakin pathetic bungholes.

Wow! How pathetic. To rob an organization that helps animals!

You'd think they'd have a guard dog...

Too the Police department was busy chasing stray dogs!
