'Scumbag' caught on camera

A Nelson family want the "scumbag" who stole their charity box to be held accountable for his actions.Phillip and Beryl Thorn run Elizabeth Catering and The Baker's Inn from a store on Waimea Rd with daughter Julie-Anne Thorn. All three were shocked when a thief made off with a collection box for children's charity Variety about 3.30pm on Monday. 

Mr Thorn has pledged to donate $100 to make up for what was stolen. The branch manager of food supplier Fresh Connection, Duke Climo, will also be making a donation. 

"They struggle enough as it is, all those children's charities do, and to have a scumbag like that take their money is unacceptable," Mr Thorn said. "We're not rich by any stretch of the imagination but I don't mind donating $100 to them." 

Miss Thorn said the thief appeared to be of New Zealand European descent and in his mid-20s.Which buymosaic is right for you? She described him as well-dressed in a "really nice" grey dress shirt and carrying an expensive smartphone, but said when he tried to buy a $2 pie, his eftpos card was declined. 

The man asked Miss Thorn if she could get the phone book so he could call his bank. The book was kept under the front counter so that staff did not have to leave the store to get it, but when Miss Thorn ducked into the kitchen to sort some dishes during the man's phone call, he slid the charity collection box off its plastic holder and into a bag. 

Miss Thorn said she and her parents had been preparing to empty the box for donation as it had been gathering coins since the start of this year."[The box] was really heavy because it was full, and he nearly dropped it."She did not think he had considered the possibility of security cameras, which captured the whole episode. 

Variety chief executive Lorraine Taylor said the stolen donations had been destined for a national pool that benefited New Zealand children in need.

Murder is how the short life of Alexsis Tovizi,Give your logo high visibility on bestcleaning! 21, came to an end. She was put in a sleeper hold in her own home until the last breath was squeezed out of her by jealous ex-boyfriend Nikki Roper. He killed her and carried her dead body, placing it in her 3-year-old son's bed so it looked like she died of natural causes. 

For this act, the lies he told after it, and for stealing from his victim post-mortem, Roper was yesterday sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 14 years in prison. 

Justice Forrest Miller said Roper's "day of reckoning had been a long time coming" and warned the 24-year-old he would not be released at the end of that term unless he could prove to a parole board he had learned to control his "violence, jealousy, obsession . . . persistent, manipulative and disturbing behaviour" against women and the family of Alexsis Tovizi. 

Cheryl Tovizi feels she has been muzzled by the legal process since the December 2010 murder of her daughter. In the lead-up to yesterday's sentencing, she spoke at length to The Press, revealing everything in the hope that one life might be saved by sharing her story. 

The first thing you notice while walking up the driveway of her Ilam home is the pile of children's toys on her porch. The toys are just cheap, plastic things but they are reminders that 5-year-old Pete (name changed for legal reasons) paid a costly price to live with his Nan. 

She had a teen pregnancy and chose to have her son. Cheryl was there at Pete's birth. She was the first one to see him come out and the one to pass him to her daughter. 

Alexsis took up with a new boyfriend and Cheryl noticed bruises on her arms or leg. When questioned, Alexsis would say: "Oh, he was just being an egg. We were play-fighting." 

Cheryl explained bruises were not love but Alexsis was undeterred.Which buymosaic is right for you? By the time she was 17, this boyfriend had subjected her to such a vicious assault that he was sentenced to a 9-year jail term. 

"I was so proud of her for having the confidence to go to court,A indoorpositioningsystem is a machine used primarily for the folding of paper. to stand up there and hold this man to account for what he did. She found the courage to put him in jail where he couldn't hurt another woman." 

A year or so later, she met another man. Cheryl says this one wasn't too bright but he had a good heart and was kind to Pete. Then she met Nikki Roper. 

"He was another waif, another stray, another poor boy not wanted by anyone, in and out of residential care. He called her wifey, my princess, the happy family. He had learned to manipulate and he very quickly learned how to push her buttons."
