Cleveland Yo-Yo Club Robbed

everything copied and paste from YoYoSkills.com:



This makes me sick. Thievery is completely opposite of what yo-yoing is supposed to represent, and it takes a special kind of human being to rob a city club right before the holiday. By “special human” I really mean a soulless cylon monster so off the evolutionary scale they never grew a conscience, or a backbone.  It is terrible to do this anytime of year, but what [CENSORED] does this right before Christmas…
The Cleveland Yo-Yo Club got broken in to sometime last night, and they picked us clean. Looks like we lost about $1400 worth of yo-yo inventory and supplies.
If anyone has any information, or sees anyone in Cleveland or from Cleveland trying to move brand new Velocityes, Grind Machines, Protostars, or other new-in-box Yo-Yo Factory stuff, please let us know IMMEDIATELY.

I want to go one step furthur. I asked Steve for a Club Paypal address. I am not made of money but will donate what I can. YoYoSkills.com gets around 4000 unique visits a day, so if 1/4th of us give 1 dollar than we can help make up some of what the Cleveland Yo-Yo Club lost. I would not normally approach my readers in this way, and I don’t like asking for handouts especially this time of year, but the best thing about the yo-yo community is that we back each other up and the Cleveland Yo-Yo Club needs our help.  With your support, the Cleveland Yo-Yo Club can get back up and running after last nights robbery.
You can send donations to us via PayPal at unklesteve@gmail.com. Fast Donate button below. Please make sure they mark it as “CYYC DONATION”
The goal is to replace the lost yo-yo’s, and replace the glass door that was destroyed when the robbers broke in.  Any donation money above and beyond what the club needs to get back on the level will be used to purchase low-end yo-yos to give away in our outreach programs to local YMCA chapters.
I have asked Steve to keep YoYoskills.com in the loop so we know how the donations are coming.
You can use a debit or visa card to donate via paypal, no account needed.

And a private note to the thieves.  If you are reading this, and if you are yo-yoers then you might be, I want you to know that you are lower than low.  You are lower than the white crud that forms at the corners of your mouth when you are parched.  You are lower than the microbial waste that collects in eye mucus.  You should be ashamed of yourself.
I would love everyone to use the share button below and get this out there so we can help the Cleveland Yo-Yo Club recover.
