HAMPTON BAYS, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) – An organization that saves baby animals said someone made off with thousands of dollars worth of fundraising prizes.

Jim Hunter, board president of the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center in Hampton Bays, said someone broke into the building Wednesday night and stole $10,000 in prizes for two upcoming fundraisers, as well as $50 in cash from a donation jar.

“They didn’t take the can, but they took all the change in it,” Hunter told 1010 WINS’ Mona Rivera. “This time of year it’s very horrible because we have all these baby animals coming in — baby squirrels, baby rabbits, baby birds — and anybody who would steal money from baby animals is not a really good person in my view.”
