My sister in law's house was robbed today!

Sorry about the robbery, but things can be replaced people can't! i'm glad no one was hurt.

Hey Katlady, I will definitly put in a prayer or two for you and your sister. Usually theifts are done by people who know you and still there is a chance it could've been random. It's such a misfortunate thing your sister is going through especually with Christmas around the corner! Wow I'm not sure how people can have the heart to do such a thing. Hope things go better for your family!

That is awful It happened to many years ago and it is awful it is not just what they take but also that they have been in your Property and touched your Personal things it is really horrible This is the time that the Break ins happen in the UK at Christmas time I really hope she will be fine and I am just so sorry that it has happened to her Big Hugs

That just sucks the fat one. I know how it feels to be robbed as it happened to me a few times while living in Samoa. Mostly clothing and shoes were stolen but nothing like what your sister in law has experienced. I'm sorry this has happened to her and I hope someone saw something and reports it.

That is very sad news indeed. I think that such crime was done in a planned manner. Probably someone has been monitoring your sisters movement. Well, I do hope that the culprits will be arrested.

Unfortunately the feelings of trust and violation will remain long after the televisions and computers are long forgotten. I hope they were insured as these items add up in value very fast. The penalties for this type of breakin and identity theft are way too low and the police do not give it high priority around here. I doubt they would bother giving out police reports unless it was required for insurance. There are too many people willing to buy stolen goods. I would feel I was condoning the robbery if I bought anything I knew was stolen. Having suffered a breakin awhile back I am aware of the emotional devastation this event can inflict on the innocent party.

It probably would be illegal, but I mentioned to people that I wanted a pet tiger. Not sure how dangerous it would be if I had one as a cub & have it grow into a full-grown tiger. Can you imagine the look on a would-be burglar's face if he broke in, & found a real live tiger staring at him? Perhaps licking his chops?

That is SUCH a feeling of violation. Someone, some STRANGERS, came into your house, your PRIVATE place and went thru your stuff. They took THINGS, yes, but they also took your feeling of SECURITY! The police and the "state" may see this as a "property" crime, but it is SO MUCH MORE! Robbers, burglers should be branded with a big "B" in the middle of their foreheads. They should be public ostracized. They should be treated as public enamies, because they are! Known burglers shouldn't be allowed in Pawn shops, they should be required to have an escort whenever they leave their houses - if they can find anyone who will rent to them! Cutting off the hand might be a good idea in the case of burglers!

OMG Katlady what horrible news. Sounds to me that whoever it was, must have been watching homes and watching people leave to do this. I sure hope someone in her neighborhood saw something, for as you say she doesn't exactly live in the boondocks somewhere. And how tacky to take the wrapped Christmas presents, that I think sucks most of all. Hope they can catch the people responsible...keep us posted okay?

OMG....That is just horrible...Thank goodness no one was home...I just hate it when this happens...The fear that grips the person that is robbed is so overwhelming.. Prayers going out to everyone....Hugs too!

I am so sorry to hear this, the words I would like to say are not appropriate for this sight but I am just so sorry. It is such a heartbreaking experience to go through it is not just the stuff that gets taken that is hurtful it is everything else that goes with it. I was 18 years old when it happened to me, I had not long had my first child who I was alone with and I had a two bedroomed flat which I really loved I was the only one in the flats that had my own garden it was my first home of my own. I went to visit my parents who lived about an hour from me and was staying over, when my dad brought me home I had been burgled. Now being a single parent a young one at that I did not have a lot, but they took anything of value to me that I did have and they made a mess. I was absolutely heartbroken, the police were useless did not have a clue even though there were loads of fingerprints. I eventually found out that it was actually people I knew who had done it but I never got my things back. I hope that something good happens for your sister in law and something bad for the rotten people that did it.

so sad it happend 2 times for my house

I am so sorry that this has happened to your sister and law. It is sad that people can not be trusted any more. Someone had to have seen something especially if they took a TV that need 2 people to carry. It sucks also that they could not get finger prints. This actually happened to my sister before. Their house been broken into like 3 or 4 times? It was in different houses in different states also. It does take away your since of security they should look into getting a dog or a security system. I wish this has never happened. I wish the best of luck to you and your family. I hope they can replace some of the stuff that got stolen. There is a website www.wishuponahero.com if they post on there people may be able to help them out with getting some of their stuff back. People go on there and post their wishes on there. Some are big and some are small. My mom and i love that website. People may be able to help your sister in law with replacing stuff. I wish her the best of luck and she will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear about that. That's such a sad story. While possessions can be replaced, there is a horrible sense of violation that comes along with something like this knowing that these criminals were in the home. I wish her the best of luck and I hope the are able to catch the criminals and get her things back.

A story of this nature makes me so sad. Why, for what reason does this crap have to happen. That's exactly what it is too, crap. Everyone works so hard for what they earn and value. To strip someone of their personal items disgusts me. I sure hope someone will come forward and admit anything they saw or be be able to give some sort of description of a car leaving the area. I am so sorry to hear this sad news. Guess they can be thankful they weren't home and nobody was injured.

That is just awful. And in the middle of the day of all things. Yes, I agree. It is possible someone has seen something. I would be talking to the neighbors and see if they did see anything out of the ordinary. It is hard to feel safe after your house has been violated like that. I hope the police find the people and put them away.

I just hope that your sister will get over it, so bad it happens a month before Christmas. People who rob homes and even kill people to get what they want is very rampant today in every city and every country. Maybe we have to be very cautious as far as security is concerned. security cameras is very helpful in solving these type of crimes. It's already affordable and available online. Maybe we can consider using this type of gadget. I just watched a news about a lady who was robbed but because of her security camera, they were able to trace and arrest the robbers.

if you live in the country they was watching their house that is a shame we work hard for what we get and someoone just come in and steals it.and no finger prints i would talk with the neighbors aand see if they saw anything they need to be caught and punished for what they done check pawn shops if they have it in pawn shop you call the police you will get it back right then because he recieved stolen good.again iam so so sorry

Oh Carryl how terrible. I can not understand why people have to go to this. Of course you're right everyone will be upset that's to be expected. I hope the theifs are caught. I agree this sounds like the work of more than one person. I find it odd the pictures were stollen. It's wrong of course at any cost but a TV and all other items I can understan, by that I mean a knife, that could be because it was a good one and someone knows a good knife when they see it, or it could be classed as a weapon, The gifts can always be sold or re wrapped, but these pictures??? That's too creepy, it doesn't sound normal.

ooh my god thts a sad new...something strange....hope robbers would be caught someday and would be punished
