DEAR DIARY……….

A charity worker who stole a total of £2,127 over two years from the Cancer Research shop where she worked was caught and convicted when police found her diary, in which she had detailed her thefts.

Police found her diary, which contained such entries as: “I was in charge at C Shop and it was a good day for me £91 Oh yes” and “Bloody good day at shop £213. Man brought bag of coins in – £75 for shop £35 for me, well I had to count it”.
