Mother's House Broken Into

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!

Janet, that's just scary!
I too am glad she wasn't home when they came in!

What a horrible and scary thing to happen!!!!

I hope they catch the person who did this very soon.
Thank God your mom wasn't home. Hard to believe she wants to stay there by herself after this.. I would be terrified!! What a strong lady.

I went to Mom's this morning after the bus route to help her with some phone calls. We had to call the bank to report 6 checks missing. They made her pay $30 to place a stop payment on the checks. I would think if you reported them missing they would stop payment anyway...jerks.

Called the insurance company, she has $250 deductable. We don't think it will add up to that thank God. She doesn't remember what was in a few drawers and jewelry boxes, but there is at least $150 in silver dollars missing, $20 in quarters, a $20 and $50 dollar bill missing, jewelry missing.

They took all the boxes of family pictures that she had on a shelf in a closet and threw them all on the floor. Her mattress laying off her bed and had a lot of mouse droppings on it. Don't know how that got there. They went through all the dresser drawers, file cabinet, and kitchen & bathroom cabinets. They must have mostly been after items and money to buy drugs with, because they left the stereo, cameras and a few other smaller items.

Mother is so upset that she can't remember what was in different boxes and drawers. She feels so violated.

I did figure out they came through the back door. Cops couldn't find anything the dumb jerks, so I called them to let them know what I had found. Mom always has the back porch light on and they turned the bulb to make it go out. They have a detective assigned to her, but being Columbus Day..he's off. I told her the whole freak'n police department is off, I was so angry.

This was in today's paper... http://www.ftimes.com/main.asp?Secti...76&TM=46077.87

That address where he lives is 808, my Mom's is 901. His residence is just 3 houses to the east and across the street from my Mom. My brother said when they were at Mom's last night, that they saw the "other" guy on the bicycle at that house and when Jerry kept staring at him, he got back on his bike and left again.

I am just so thankful my Mom wasn't home. If he (and if it was him) was using a knife to break in, he could have hurt or killed her.
