It is really a sad state of affairs when someone has to steal something rather than purchase it. We had an extra large teddy bear with a Christmas hat taken from our kiosk at the Lewiston Mall on Christmas Eve.

I feel sorry for someone who has to resort to this kind of acquiring something either for themselves or for someone else.

I hope this is not a way of life for this type of person. It is not too late to make restitution for this item. They could ease their conscience, and renew our faith in honesty.
