A stolen donation box at an altitude of 2350 meters has caused outrage in Switzerland. Some time ago unknown climbers stole the contents of a box on a via ferrata in the canton of Valais. The association that owns the box and takes care of the maintenance of the via ferrata is stunned.
“Who are those people??? The members of the IG Klettersteig maintain the via ferratas without pay or in return. Instead of putting money in the cash register for maintenance, the money is stolen!!” wrote Patrick Grichting of the board of the association on Facebook to get rid of his frustration and placed the destroyed container, which was bricked in at an altitude of 2350 meters, the rock face of the Daubenhorn.
Several hundred euros stolen
According to reports, there should have been an amount of several hundred euros. Not far from the box is a rest area for climbers, where dozens of athletes rest on beautiful summer days.
The theft was discovered in mid-August. As this is a demanding climb, the climbers must have been well equipped and carried tools to break open the box.
Perpetrators would have an “eternal bad conscience”.
The association sent the following message to the thieves: “We wish the perpetrators nothing bad, but that they will have a guilty conscience for all eternity on every trip in the mountains.” Due to lack of opportunities, the police were omitted. of success. By the way, since the Facebook post, new donations have arrived on the account of the association.
