Family robbed at christmas

December 29, 2006 2:28pm CST
I single mother that was working came home on Christmas eve to find that all the presents that had been donated to her by her local comunity and schools for herself, Her and her children were gone. They also lost their tv and other personal and costly items, The kids were at school when the mother arrived home, And she simply could not stand to tell them what had happened. But soon enough they found out, The whole family was extremly upset (As to be expected) and as the gifts were donated in the first place, It made things look even less hopeful. Some people have no heart, The local community are outraged And local charities are desperatly searching for little things to give to the broken hearted families at this time off year. This event took place two days before Christmas, And With that small amount of time left to gather from donating families to a less fortunate home, just seems awful to me, How awful for the children. AND the mother, If she couldn't support them alone in the first place imagine how she feels now, Seriously. Some people, really don't have a heart.

This happened to a family i know last year. it is a terrible thing for anyone to steal something from others but it is especially terrible on christmas. I think that anyone caught stealing christmas presents from people should get a mandatory, Minimum 30 day prison sentence. Let them sit there and think about what a crappy thing they did.

Totally agreed. Sorry to hear abouty the family you know. Its kind sick and twisted how they can steal from a family who are obvously struggling as they had their first load of presents donated. How low have people got now a days, I think 30 days is to little, I'd six six months or so. I can't see how people find it funny and think its a good idea to do it. Its mean twisted and unkind. So unfair to these familys.

That is really horrible!! Some people really only think of themselves. Real scrooges. Another sad story happened right in my backyard. The apartment building behind where I live started on fire 2 days after christmas. 100 familys were evicted from there place with no-where to go!! 2 days after christmas, and they lost everything!! Can you imagine?
