Reuters: School tsunami fund stolen-the public responds

Boston. Two men brazenly walked into the John Holland Elementary School in broad daylight on Thursday, grabbed a large water bottle containing between $200 and $500 in cash contributions and fled. News of the theft spread quickly and by Friday morning the school had been deluged with $2,000.00 in pledges, Principal Michele O'Connor said. "It's been kind of an emotional roller coaster here, but its teaching the kids a good lesson: that sometimes out of great sadness comes great joy."
