It's been in existence for 37 years and St. Rita's Haunted House is a destination for many of us every year. But it's also the destination for a thief.

The School for the Deaf is out hundreds of dollars after a break-in. Evendale Police confirm that someone stole hundreds of dollars from their haunted house.

They said the money was taken from the haunted house's ticket booth after a busy crowd went through last weekend.

The haunted house raises money for the school, and organizers of the house say it's a painful situation.

"When you got people that take what little you got, like say 100% of what we make goes to the school, it's a very frustrating setback," said Steve Haverkos, St. Rita's Haunted House chairman.

The haunted house is strictly volunteer based.

Now, they're just hoping they'll be able to draw a strong crowd for the last few days of the halloween season.

If you know anything about this robbery, call Crime Stoppers at (513) 352-3040.

Slim Pickens said it best. "90% of all major crime, is an inside job." How else would anyone know , (1) that is was in there? and (2)some idea of how much was to be had for taking the risk of getting caught??? Drugs are bad, mmkay... :)

The better question is why on earth would someone steal from St. Rita's?
