It's good to know the holiday season wasn't all fist-fighting and theft, as a real heart-warming story has emerged from the UK. You see, last weekend, the Hunter family had left home to attend a wedding, only to return and find their home had been broken into and trashed. As one would expect, a few items were missing, most notably the Nintendo Wii Santa left for their two young children.
Enter Dundee businessman Charlie Kean of Kean Slaters, who stepped forward (among the many other local individuals who've helped this family get through this tough time) to provide the family with a new Wii, as well as some games. Currently, the criminals have yet to be apprehended by authorities.

Hell, I'll steal from a kid if it means free beer.

"Children's home robbed"
Children shouldn't own homes. It's just irresponsible.

I completely agree. They're usually only 4 feet high, made of brightly colored plastic and lack door locks. Heck, they even lack automatic weapons to defend your land.

I'm wondering why they're holding the nunchuck with no Wii Remote attached... Ô.O
It's almost as bad as that one ad with people holding game controllers from different systems and one guy has the Xbox controller backwards...
