As a lot of you know,I now volunteer at the ASSISI Animal Sanctuary,aside from looking after the ferals,I also do driving for them as well as Chance of a Lifetime;
http://www.assisi-ni.org/chance-of-a-lifetime/So Friday night we left for the Dogs Trust outside Birmingham at Kenilworth. Got to the Dogs Trust in Brum around 9am & cropped off the dogs,sadly we had to return with one of the dogs,a loverly collie but he was so timid the DT wouldn't take him.
Well,I got back at midnight, Stenna Line canceled the 4 PM sailing that we would have gotten & moved the 2pm sailing to 1pm,so the was no way we would have gotten from Brum to Cairnryan for the 1pm,so it was the 8pm! Uneventful trip in all,myself & Gordon (the other driver) got on really well.
I arrived back at ASSISI at 11pm ish & we offloaded the poor pup & locked up & away,got home & found I still had the main set of van keys in my pocket.Bloody good job I did as well cuz some tadpoling low life scumbag must've seen us there late & between when Jenna & I left & the ASSISI opened,he/they broke into the ASSISI,smashed the van window & stole the emergency float of cash out of the van!!.
The float is there for us to use in emergencies as well as for driver lunches but none of us use it,preferring to eat on the ferry & take our own food as we feel the money can be put to better use for the animals.
I am extremely angry at this,not so much at the theft,but because of who they stole from,the ASSISI now have to cover that loss from their own funds,funds that rely on donations for the work they do.Thankfully some of my Facebook friends have been in touch & donated money to the ASSISI to cover,or make up,the loss.To them all I can say is
To the thief,I hope you get caught or,even better,use the money you stole & overdose,you
low life scumbag!!
