A thief stole an estimated £8,000 worth of personal valuables from players taking
part in a fundraising rugby match in aid of Milly’s Fund, the charity set up in 
memory of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler.
Rings, wallets, watches and cash were
among the items stolen from the changing rooms at Esher Rugby Club in Surrey, according
to the BBC. The thief is reported to have claimed that he was working at the fundraising
event.
