Mother's House Broken Into

While my mother was camping her house was broken into. She came home to a mess. Ricky and I went in to help get it back into some order but it's going to take more work.

She had money, jewelry, and checks stolen. They turned the porch light bulb off so they could break in the back door although there is no sign of forced entry. She did have to unlock the back door to get in and then she immediately called my brother and then had to unlock the front door for him.

They went through all her drawers, cabinets and closets.

Found out from the cops that there is a convicted felon that lives down the street. He was in prison for breaking and entering. I guess he hangs around with a gang at the other end of the street. Now I am worried about my mom staying by herself.

That's scary. I'm glad that your Mom wasn't home at the time. Are the police checking into it? It's too bad that people always want what doesn't belong to them. I bet that your Mom is really upset. Is she going to go and stay with you for awhile? Get her a sign that says her house is protected by Smith and Wesson!!!!

She didn't want to stay with anyone. I think she's afraid if she did, she would always be afraid. It just makes me so darn angry that someone would do this and to an 85 year old woman. I'd like to check the guy out myself and take my friends Smith and Wesson with me.

That is just reprehensible!!! Why do people think they can just take what belongs to others! I just will never understand how someone can live with themselves after a crime. I guess it is lack of a conscious - but how does that happen???

I'm so sorry your mom has to endure this!

So sorry that this happened to your mom. I so admire people like her. My boss' mom turned 100 Sept. 17th. Last summer she was making rolls, quilting and canning. She has not been as well lately, but she is a real go-getter-just like your mom!
