It’s to SUPPORT charity, asshole, not STEAL from it!
Last fall, I bought a magnetic pink ribbon for my car, in support of research into the causes and someday a cure for breast cancer. This spring, it disappeared from my car while we were in a mall parking lot. In May, I found another one and cheerfully

The same thing happened to me … only mine was a green organ donation awareness ribbon … no idea why someone would steal something like that.
cannibas may helpkarma doesn’t work that way

What’s the big deal? Ok so you made a donation to the fight against breast cancer. Do you really need to advertise it? Put the next one on your fridge door. I’m sure a person with breast cancer would love to have only your problem to deal with.
To Banjon… what’s the big deal, you ask? Hello? That someone STOLE it. I have a problem with that. Do I ‘need to advertise’ my support? It’s not about advertising my support, but rather, awareness. As for what a person with breast cancer would think – what makes you think that I don’t know that?
I’ve been thru the carwash lately and have noticed the magnets you are talking about in the carwash. People need to remember to remove them before they go thru the carwash…maybe they weren’t stolen afterall and just “washed” off

Good suggestion, ‘just a thought,’ but I haven’t been through a carwash since last winter, so it’s not that…
How about we donate without taking anything from the foundation we’re donating to? I’m sure the foundation would need less donations if they didn’t have to buy all those magnets for the idiots who think they need to get something in return for donating. suck it up and stop being so self-promotionary about who you’ve donated to.
In response to MAD. Anyone who is not AWARE of breast cancer must surely live in a cave. So much for that argument. I don’t know if you or someone close to you has/had breast cancer, but I have two sisters who are breast cancer survivors and we carry the gene. STILL I do NOT advertise my support for the cure with empty commercial trinkets. I just donate donate and donate anonymously. At my daughter’s recent wedding in lieu of table favours, each place setting had a pink card with a donation from the bride and groom for $5.00 to the Breast Cancer foundation. All were encouraged to match the donation or better. The tally isn’t in yet, but I’m sure it was quite a bit of money. We always donate to cancer research in lieu of flowers when someone we know dies whether or not the cause of death was from a cancer. I think all of the RIBBON campaigns whether for cancer, support for our troops or (insert dumb reason here) are stupid and insignificant. Give the money to a friend/family member who is facing this dreadful disease instead.
Well I agree with you op, what a hateful thing for someone to steal. It’s not about the donation people, it is about awareness and showing your support, yes I said support, do you comprehend what that means?. Some of us people with caring hearts DO get that. For some of you who just like to argue for the sake of arguing, get over yourselves. You have a right to be angry op, stealing that is not much diff than stealing church donations imo.
wishing negative karma on someone is not rightthere are cures for cancer being kept secret so they can continue to keep collecting$, this is not a conspiracy theory, do some research (hint; stay out of the mainstream news and off the propaganda sites)
correction; cures for cancer(S)
I found a bunch of those on the side of the highway. They must blow right off the cars. 😀
well well
I think I have your magnet. And to mcbd apparently they are hard to pull off the cars. Some drunk young adults thought it would be funny to steal. They felt guilty and turned the magnets over. I did tell them about the bitch, and how I hoped the people missing the magnets didn’t lose a loved one to cancer.
