We here at the Daily Times have described all manner of heinous crimes – and the wicked, soul-less creatures responsible for them.

Still, I will admit to being taken aback at what happened recently at Harrah’s Chester Casino.

You want to talk about a heartless thief.

Police say a gambler was collecting his winnings at one of the casino’s pay machines when he became ill.

The man passed out. He apparently was having a problem with his blood pressure medication. That’s when things took a decided turn for the worse.

The man standing behind him in the line alerted a cashier, but then, according to police, he went back to the machine and helped himself to the stricken man’s money.

He skated with $230. The ill man was taken to the hospital and is now recovering. But what he would really like to recover is his $230.

We’d like to see that happen, too. That’s why on Thursday we ran a picture from the casino surveillance cameras of a man that police say they would like to talk to in connection with the incident. They are calling him a person of interest.

If he’s done what police believe he has, we probably would call him something else.

But then this is a family blog.
