Man Throws Up In Donation Box, Ruins Kids' Christmas Presents
A North Side bar is angry after a man defiled a Toys for Tots donation box, and ruined Christmas presents for kids.
CHICAGO, IL — A man threw up in a Toys for Tots donation box at a popular bar in Wrigleyville overnight Saturday, according to several reports. The Nisei Lounge said the man left before the business could press charges. The bar is located at Clark and Sheffield.
All the Christmas toys in the box were ruined, and the bar is trying to raise money to replace the gifts under a tight deadline.
"Some horrible, no good, very rotten person defiled our Toys for Tots donation box today. Which is crap," The Nisei Lounge states on its Eventbrite donation page. "He left before we could press charges but we're still royally ticked."

The bar is trying to replace the toys by the Toys for Tots deadline Wednesday. All proceeds will be spent on toys bought at locally-owned toy stores, the business said.
Some TBOX jackasses defiled @NiseiLounge's Toys for Tots box so they're holding a benefit to raise money. Buy a ticket and you can stay in bed instead of going to church. https://t.co/7CFFx0Rgfc
