Regardless of who, Villager or non-Villager, or why the batteries were taken, it is still a
theft and someone has been violated.
This is a reminder that bad things do happen to good people and that there are those who will step up to the plate and help when needed.
Mike is right. Not all Villagers are good people; most, but not all. I remember one older guy (I will not use the term "gentleman") who was caught after stealing golf clubs from one of the pro shops several years ago. He was a Villager. This shows that not only young people are common thieves. They come in all ages.
My daddy always taught us, "If it's not yours, leave it alone." If we came home with something they knew was not ours, we always had to take it back where we got it....even if someone really did give it to us. We had to ask permission first. "I found it" was never acceptable. Some people forget their good teachings or were never taught in the first place.
