Crime is rampant nowadays. It's everywhere! I seriously can't believe how common it is. My dad owns a small business and he's told me there's been at least 3 or 4 incidents where people has walked right into the shop and taken money straight out of the counter without him even knowing. There's nothing normal shop owners can do about it.
Then there's other stories of people he knew, who had either tried to be heroic by stopping the thieves and ended up with a face full of blood or had been physically attacked even without putting up a fight.

Anyway the point is, these incidents are becoming more and more normal and it's very sad to see the state of Sydney the way it is.
This morning i came across this article about people ram raiding the Royal North Shore Hospital and making off with the money from the ATM that sat inside the lobby.
Can you get any lower??? It's a hospital for goodness sakes. That's where people go who are sick and DYING!! By causing the damage they did they've probably put people lives at risk not to mention they could've killed someone in a wheel chair or something with the initial impact.
It's sick!! And my goodness, how many other ATM's are there in Sydney, why would you choose to hit a hospital? What's next, the local church offering bag? The Orphanage? Those guys who sell the Big Issue?

Instinctively i'd say "where are people's consciences" or "don't people have any sense of what's right" but all i can say it that it's a terrible reminder of the sinful world we live in where people are without God and without care for others. Thank God for Easter coming up and the reminder that God has dealt with our sins once and for all. It is the only hope we have of eternity as we are bombarded every moment of every day with news like this....
