March 10, 2014 Robbers Break Into Joel Osteen's Cash Vault Joel Osteen's Lakewood megachurch announced that thieves had stolen offerings from Saturday and Sunday from its secured vault sometime after Sunday afternoon, estimated at over $600,000. The offerings were insured, and there was no data breach, but there was credit card information and members should monitor their accounts.
The robbery is a cover story for what is actually an attack on a Christian church. The internet comments which largely support the thieves and condemned Osteen and his church suggest what sort of people might be motivated to carry out such an attack.

My son commented on the fact that if they had not spent so much on church buildings, someone could have built some sort of businesses so the people would have had a place to work and they wouldn't all live in shacks.
