About this Article

A group of Cary Girl Scouts saw some of the best and worst of their neighbors in the past few days as the theft of $417 in cookie money was quickly followed by an outpouring of community support. Cary Police Chief Steven Casstevens dropped a personal check off Monday morning to reimburse the troop for the $417. He said a local businessman did the same thing.
