GREENWOOD, S.C. --Thieves stole almost nothing but the kitchen sink from a church after the restaurant-style, stainless steel basin was left outside during renovations.
"We were just giving the painters enough room to work," said the Rev. Wilbert Simpson of the Calvary Grove Baptist Church. "It's sad to think ... that someone would come on God's grounds to steal something."
The sink was left behind a building during renovations to a fellowship hall, and Simpson said someone noticed it was missing over the weekend. A cake warmer was also taken.
Simpson said two weeks ago someone threw rocks through church windows.
"We've been having a time lately," he said. "We are in a secluded-type area, but there are houses all around us. I think (the stolen sink) is more mischief than anything else."
The church is offering a reward for information on the theft.
