Vandal spray-paints 'You guys have no money?' on charity's wall after failed burglary

ATLANTA _ Whoever broke into a Henry County nonprofit's office over the weekend left his or her frustrations spray-painted on the charity's wall: "You guys have no money?"

The director of Rachel's Gift, a McDonough-based nonprofit that helps women cope after a miscarriage or a baby's death, told Channel 2 Action News she found the message ironic.

"It was just comical to see their frustration too," Lori Beth Blaney said.

After the break-in, she decided to hang a sign to nail the point home, which said, "No cash on premises. Really. We are a non-profit and have no money." Blaney told AJC.com the nonprofit hasn't had past issues with vandalism and burglaries.

Despite two doors being damaged and the contents of the office being tossed around, nothing was stolen, Blaney said. She said the message the person left was spray-painted with paint found in the office, so the thief's intentions switched from stealing cash to vandalism after no money was found.

An insurance business in the same building off Sloan Street was also broken into, but it's unclear whether anything was stolen from that office.

McDonough police are searching for the would-be burglar.
