God put us here to help one another

On the afternoon of July 15, a young man was walking down the street near Oak Hill Manor where he lives in Cedar Rapids. He was carrying his 32-inch television and a car approached him and said they would give him $25 for it. He paid almost $400 for it a couple of months ago.

It was a very coldhearted thing to do to someone, especially a mentally challenged person. You ought to be ashamed of yourself for doing such a thing. How would you feel if someone did that to your son or daughter?

If you have any compassion, you would return it to him with an apology. His name is Bill and he lives at Oak Hill Manor. I will make sure you get your $25 back. He was taken advantage of and that should not happen in our society today. Next time, go to a pawnshop if you want to buy something cheap. God put us on the earth to help one another, not to deceive people like Bill.
