Default BOC beads

I am so sad..

I keep a bag in my shop for the BOC kids. Each time I make beads I try to add to that bag until I get at least 20 or so beads. (more if possible) and then I mail them.
Last week I did a few beads for the kids and went to put them in the bag yesterday and it was gone, just gone.. We searched the shop up and down and looked everywhere thinking someone had moved them. Well, it appears that they have been taken. I am so sad that in my own shop someone took these.

We know of only two people that had access to the area where they were kept and they where children. I am truly sadden that this happened.. Of course we can't prove it and I was not in the shop at that time.

Now I will have to keep all the small beads and things under lock and key or not allow classes in the shop..

Oh no, that has to be so disappointing. Maybe you could put a little notice up in a prominent spot saying "Missing, a bag of beads for Children with Very Serious Illnesses to make their hospital stays and treatments a little bit easier. If anyone finds them, please let me know so that they can be sent to the sick children." Maybe whoever took them will bring them in and "find them."
If not, they must have something missing in their own lives to need to keep them, maybe they'll help that person too.
