A nasty piece of work

Being a cynical bastard, I tend not to have a lot of faith in humanity to begin with, but then a heartwarming story like this comes along and changes my mind confirms that people are scum:

A British woman pleaded guilty to theft after a camera planted in a teddy bear caught her stealing money from a terminally ill woman she was hired to care for.

Yvonne Allen, 28, pleaded guilty to two counts of theft and was sentenced to six months imprisonment at the Community Justice Center after the family of Thelma Sampson, 75 -- who has been diagnosed with a terminal case of leukemia -- videotaped Allen stealing $120 from the Walton, England, great-grandmother in July, the Liverpool Echo reported Monday.

That's pretty goddamn low, Yvonne. Here's hoping you die in a fire.
