Part of me wishes my burglary had been only cash instead of all the jewelry with history and memories. Frankly any robbery sucks. I have zero compassion for thieves. Thanks for stopping by.

But I...Damn, Dee, I'm sorry to hear about this. But I'm glad you guys are all safe. The fact that there's an arrest, a confession, and legal progress is amazing. I think so many times, finding a link to the burglars is difficult. Many years ago, I was robbed at gunpoint in my apartment, but the thieves mostly took cash, so there wasn't much for the police to do but take a description. <br /><br />I hope your court date brings justice.Nico Rossohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921053471174740552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-76669462020220837082017-07-11T17:15:19.937-07:002017-07-11T17:15:19.937-07:00Hi Kathy,

Instead of walking right back out, I slowly toured the house. It felt empty and it was. I think I would've figured if people were still there in which case I probably would've run right back out the front door. I can't imagine walking in on people during a robbery. That's some scary stuff. Very frustrating that the suspects were never caught. I'm getting ready for my day in court on Monday.

They'd gone out of town and asked that I check on the place a few times while they were gone, pick up the mail, and just go inside and make sure everything was okay. Probably three days or so into it, I stopped by after work, and pulled up in front, and got the mail, and headed into the house. I knew immediately something was wrong, and a quick walk through confirmed it. The thieves must have heard me pull up, because they'd been heading out the back door with the television and other things, and dropped them and ran, leaving the back door open with all the stuff still there.<br /><br />Of course, I called the police, and reported it. They took fingerprints, and did the usual questioning neighbors, etc. Me, along with the homeowners, always suspected that it was the teen boys who lived in the house next door, but were never able to prove it. They never did catch anybody associated with it. <br /><br />But it was scary, realizing they were probably still in the house when I got there.Kathy Ivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16440759802997389459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-17409737734205378932017-07-10T21:40:49.434-07:002017-07-10T21:40:49.434-07:00Hi Cathy,

I wish I could replace all the priceless jewelry taken from my house. Even the beaded necklaces and bracelets my daughter made for me. Things that are worthless to anyone else. Argh...so frustrating. The police were able to lift 15 fingerprints from my house. Still waiting on results although a confession worked for me. Anyway... sorry for your loss and thanks for stopping in.

I can d...Yes, Dee, Sorry for your nasty experience. I can definitely sympathize, for I, too, have been robbed. And it is a violation of trust, no doubt about that. <br /><br />My break-in happened several years ago. My bedroom screen had been raised and someone gained entrance through it. They took my handbag with everything in it. The police were called and were able to do little; didn't bother taking prints, etc. I loved that handbag and replaced it with an identical one. A few weeks later, while carrying the replacement bag, I ran into a teen-ager from the neighborhood--a girl--who did a double-take when she spotted my purse. Was she the thief? Probably. Could I prove it? No, but you know what my gut was telling me. jean harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04925805990806522316noreply@blogger.com
