ROCKY TOP (WATE) – Deputies are searching for a Grinch who broke into a vehicle in Anderson County and stole numerous toys destined for children in need.

The Anderson County  Sheriff’s Office says a green Ford Ranger pickup truck with a camper shell had become disabled and was left parked on Briceville Highway near Andy’s Ridge Road Thursday night. Sometime during the overnight hours, someone broke into the truck and stole a large number of toys that had been collected and donated to the Toys for Rocky Top Kids program. They were supposed to be Christmas gifts for area children.

Deputies ask anyone who may have seen suspicious persons or vehicles in the area between 8:30 p.m. Thursday and 8 a.m. Friday to call the communications center at (865) 457-2414.

For those of you who do not know the Rocky Top community is a relatively poor community. Not a lot of families can afford to celebrate Christmas like a lot of use do. And that is what makes this so much worse, they have stolen gifts meant for the children of poor families. For some of those kids this was going to be the only gift they receive this season.

The thieves stole over 300 small gifts meant for the underprivileged children of the Rocky Top community. I cannot imagine the thought process because it was likely someone from the Rocky Top community who stole the items from the needy children within that community.

I spoke with the people organizing the event and they were able to have a decent time for the kids although it was not as good as it would have been had the thieves not stolen Christmas but it was as good as it could be considering the circumstances. The packages were stolen less than 24 hours before the gift giving ceremony and that left a lot of members of the community scrambling to make up the loss so no child would be left out.

I am not posting this so others will donate, the event is already over and done with. I am posting this because the more people hear about it the better the chance is the thieves who stole Christmas from 300+ children will be caught. The thieves didn't stop with the theft of the gifts either. This is put on for the less fortunate kids in the community and normally these kids would also receive free photos with Santa but not this year. Not only did the thieves take the gifts but they also took the setup the event organizers bought so the children can have their pictures taken with Santa. And as bad as that is it is not the worst part of it. The worst part is the thieves threw a lot of what they stole into a creek, including the picture taking setup, this made the pictures for the children that much more difficult. So not only did they steal Christmas from the children but they also stole the only photos some of these kids will ever get with Santa. In my opinion stealing from poor children is about as low as you can get as a human being but to then destroy some of it just to grief the less fortunate kids is less than human.

So if anyone has any information regarding this call the number in the quote. Those responsible had better hope they are in jail before the community finds out who they are. There are a lot of people who are looking for those responsible and not because they want the bad guys to go to jail. They are hoping for some backwoods justice before LE can catch them. I honestly hope the thieves get everything they deserve and then some.

I have no sensible reaction to this type of evil. It just defies understanding. I do hope the bad guys are found...by the local people first.

Yep the pinnacle of humanity. Steal what you can, destroy the rest. Idiots.

Hoping for swift and excruciating justice on the scumbags, even as I hope the thieves didn't know they were stealing from poor children.

or an entire platoon of them.

If they're caught, maybe a little time with the Gimp would suffice.

I hope they get some good ole fashion mountain justice if caught. The only thing I hate worse than a liar is a thief. ...........................

No need for Marines here. They are trained to kill.....too good a deal. In the prison system where I came from it's legal to put an individual into what is called a "bent wrist come along" to gain compliance. Essentially, its a position of total control of his body by applying a firm rearward bend to all the fingers and wrist. It's fantastically pain full to put the knuckles and wrist in such a position that can result in broken finger joints and small bones. This sort of damage will last for a whole lota Christmas's as a reflection on the responsibility of ones actions......... THEN let the Marine have em!

There seems to be a lot of this going on. I just googled "toys for tots stolen in Tennessee" and there's quite a few cases going on.
