Shelter Theft Shocks Community

Thieves struck twice this week at the Humane Society of Concord and Greater Cabarrus County, brazenly stealing donations like dog crates, food, and cleaning supplies—some even taken from a woman who’d previously asked about a lost cat. Surveillance caught them loading items into a red pickup truck, and staff suspect they’d scouted the place before. The shelter, which relies heavily on community donations to care for animals, is now reconsidering its after-hours drop-off policy and may shorten service hours. Executive Director Judy Sims called the thefts targeted and deeply disheartening, urging the public to come forward with tips as police investigate. The shelter still accepts donations—especially cat litter and gift cards—to keep helping local animals. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
