TORONTO - A 43-year-old woman is accused of stealing a Sick Kids hospital donation box.

Toronto police say the theft from a downtown UPS store was reported Sept. 26.

But a review of surveillance video determined the box was swiped from the store's counter Sept. 19.

It just took a week for anyone to notice it was missing.

Police said the video shows a woman stealing the box after she picked up a package using her real name.

It's unknown how much money was in the donation box, but the UPS store typically collects $200 to $250 each month for the Hospital for Sick Children.

Michelle Wisdom, of Toronto, was arrested Saturday and faces charges of theft under $5,000 and possession of cocaine.
