Theft of kidney transplant money heartbreaking

To the person who stole my money recently: That was for my kidney transplant and anti-rejection medications afterwards.

I can't say how much money was stolen because of police intervention, but it was in the five-figure range plus. You broke my heart, and now I have to wait longer so I can save the money back.

Fingerprints have been taken and we have leads, but it is up to you. You can redeem yourself by either sending the money back to Robert Deme, 210 Sutton Way, Apt. 123, Grass Valley, or by going to any West America Bank and putting it into account number 0150573525.

If you don't and the police find you, you will be jailed, no questions asked. You took my life away by what you did. It took me so long to save for this, and you took it away in an instant.

People of Nevada County, please keep your eyes and ears open, and if you hear something, please call the Grass Valley Police Department at 477-4600. I need all of the help I can get.

How sad.  I don't know if I'd be posting my actual address and account numbers though.

This is so very sad!  I can't imagine the heartbreak this person is going through.  I will keep Robert in my prayers that the money is returned.

He is desperate, he wants his money back (and who wouldnt)  Karma baby, it's gonna get this person

I feel so bad for this guy.  I wonder why he didnt have his money in a bank account?  Anyway, I tried to find the zipcode, does anyone know the zip for Grass Valley?  I found 95949 and 95945.  I found $20 the other day on the ground and my boyfriend gave me hell for keeping it, so I wanted to donate it and I think this is a perfect cause.  From reading other articles, it seems they had a spaghetti supper in February to raise money for his transplant.  Criminals suck.

Mean people suck!           Someday somewhere the thief will pay for what they have done.

I was also wondering why that money wasn't in a bank, but whatever.  Still sucks for this guy.  I'm sure he'll get plenty of donations, and that's nice of you to send that $20.

That is very valid, WHY wasnt it in a bank?  i sure hope this guy isnt crooked and trying to get sympathy and money from people, makes ya wonder huh? hmmmmm?
