GRESHAM, Ore. -- Gresham police said a thief stole a donation jar full of money for the blind from a local restaurant.
The money was to be used to help find a cure for diseases causing blindness.

The money was in a large jar sitting on the counter inside a Papa Murphy's restaurant and was evidently too much temptation for someone who didn't mind stealing from the blind, workers said.
Papa Murphy's workers said the donation jar sat on the counter for weeks with a poster describing it as a charity fundraiser to help cure blindness, but instead of dropping money inside for people with disabilities, someone stole the jar that was stuffed with money.

"It really does make me mad," Papa Murphy's employee Alejandro Boyles said. "People are trying to raise money to help cure this stuff and then you have the people who don't even care."

Workers said the theft happened on a Sunday evening a week ago. They said they noticed a strange man hanging around, and when they got busy, he grabbed the jar and ran.

Amy Murphy, who is legally blind, is the person trying to raise the money. She suffers from a disease that's slowly destroying her sight.
Murphy said she's trying to collect donations for a foundation which is helping find a cure for her and others.

"All I want is an apology and all I want is the money back so I can give it to the foundation fighting blindness so they can give it to the right doctors and the right scientists so we can find a cure," Murphy said.
While the jar only had $50 to $60 in it, Murphy said the loss is a financial and emotional setback.

"I mean it's really sad. People have to go out and do something. It's just $50 to $60 but it's a cure for me and a cure for others," Murphy said.
The thief is described as a skinny white man, about 19 or 20 years old with blond hair and wearing shorts and a black baseball cap.
Anyone with information about the thief or the theft should contact Gresham police.
