non-prescription drugs? Maybe it was none of these, just such a desecration
because it was a Hindu Temple?
We will never know the full truth behind this robberty, atrocious as it is
except my thoughts are that someone needed the money to fritter away the
illicit gains on non-essential items, and suggest to everyone who can pass on
the message that the items stolen may well be sold to a third party, for resale
in a shop. Speak to your neighbours and keep a look-out for these items in
shops or at the market stalls................ !!
Maybe a tourist shop or stall is another place or similar where many items
can be got rid of for a 'good price'. What price can you put on religious
goods? It would not be of any value to anyone local, as you cannot keep it in
your house, without exacting the wrath of the Divine One & I pray the return of
the stolen items & money re-donated to this Temple.
