so how much was taken?
Probably not a great deal, as the owner said: "We don't make mega-bucks here. We just try to serve the local community, and I can't believe there's someone in Swanage with so little conscience," said Pauline.
A pile of Christian DVDs were also taken in the burglary, and the police are asking residents to look out for anyone trying to sell these on.
As one that uses this place, it seems such a shame that the good work that they do should be spoiled by acts such as this.
Many of the folk there give their time for free. Some one has sunk pretty low to steal from a Christian centre for crying out loud.
They are a very pleasant and cheerful group and deserve better.
