When hearing that someone had something stolen from the back of their truck during a short walk, a suggestion was made to let people pitch in to replace the item. The person felt most people have enough financial commitments that would not be ideal...or that others may need donations more than he did. Here's some of my reflection on the matter...to find some meaning in the strange anonymous assault.
Some comments begrudged character stealing the item, and likely it was done 'for no good reason...' but maybe the person was truly desperate in terms of looking to sell something of value.
