Vancouver police lay charges after theft of wigs made for cancer patients

Police say 52-year-old Martin Weigelt has been charged after a break-in and theft from a specialty wig store on Vancouver's west side late last summer.

The hairpieces were taken from Eva and Company wigs on Sept. 7, including some that had been painstakingly created with human hair for youngsters recovering from cancer at BC Children's Hospital. A bag of 66 wigs was found in the hallway of a Downtown Eastside hotel a week after the theft, but investigators have never said if any of those were for cancer patients.The release says Weigelt was arrested Wednesday and remains in custody awaiting a court date next week.

Some people have no sense of decency whatsoever.

Vancouver's problems never disappoint.

Really Jesus can we get any lower!! What is wrong with people!
