WARWICK - The Inkwell had a bear outside its store at 46 Main St. This bear was conducting a “bear drive” and asking for donations so its furry friends at the Warwick Valley Humane Society’s Animal Shelter could enjoy the bare necessities this holiday season. The bear had a wooden tray tied around its neck for donations, which were totaling about $20-$25 per day. Sadly however, last Thursday evening, Dec. 7, one or more thieves stole the basket and all that day’s donations while store employees were busy helping shoppers. “This is like robbing the poor box,” said owner Carol Bartnowski. Anyone with any information about the theft is asked to call the Warwick Police at 845-986-3423 and The Inkwell at 845-986-6100. Bartnowski is also hoping that someone will find and return the wooden tray, which the thief most likely discarded.
