This just isn't notable enough for an article. It happened and one of the two suspects were convicted and served time, but the crimes were not major enough to really gain the coverage needed for an article. Most thefts don't receive this coverage. Other than a handful of news stories around that point in time, there just isn't any coverage out there. We also can't justify keeping this around for a few months because articles need to show notability in the here and now. There's also a mild BLP issue here since only one of the people was actually convicted in court. I also note that per , neither person is particularly renowned and the motivations for their crimes aren't particularly unusual. The theft of charity boxes (of various types) isn't even that unusual as a whole, since it sadly happens http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/can-you-identify-thieves-stealing-6461858 all http://www.nottinghampost.com/VIDEO-Thief-caught-raiding-vape-shop-stealing/story-28141492-detail/story.html the http://gulfnews.com/news/uae/crime/assistant-nurse-denies-stealing-charity-box-from-hospital-1.642240 time http://www.wfsb.com/story/27655470/salvation-army-bell-ringer-accused-of-stealing-red-kettle with http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/Donation-jars-for-orphans-swiped-from-Dearborn-Heights-Dearborn-businesses/11223454 various http://www.koco.com/news/police-look-for-couple-who-steals-donation-box-for-cancer-patients/34059540 different http://www.foxcarolina.com/story/26457336/deputies-chesnee-woman-steals-from-charity-drop-off-box-for-2nd-time charities
