Oh dear, what a terrible thing to happen to such a lovely warm hearted lady, I too have met Vicki and she is the sweetest kindess person (he may have a bad record collection but hubby is really nice as well) I can't imagine how her poor boys feel, such good polite lads

Terrible and I agree with Yvonne.................you don't think of it but we all advertise when we will be away and it seems strange, maybe just an unhappy coincidence that hubbies car was broken into as well
This is for you Vicki and hubby and the boys  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug: thinking of you bear_wub

Sending lots of big hugs your way :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

I am sorry to hear this too Vicki. I can't understand how people can do this but unfortunately there are some bottom feeders out there who will take advantage of any opportunity.  I am glad that you and your family are safe and didn't walk in on them and that your lovely pets are Ok too.  :hug:  :hug:

I spoke to Vicki last night (she's been trying to get hold of me all day yesterday bless her). She is devastated (sp?).  I can't imagine how she feels - I don't think I'd ever feel safe in my home again. Her 10 year old son is soooo upset - they took his computer console and games etc. She will be offline for a while until they can get their hands on a computer to keep them going for a while. Luckily they seem to have receipts for most things so they claim it ack on the insurance but it still doesn't stop the fact that complete strangers have been in her house and gone through EVERYTHING.

I'll be speaking to her again this evening. Please keep Vicki, her husband and 2 little boys in your thoughts.  :hug:

bear_cry  bear_cry OMG!!  I can't stand to think this has happened to such a dear, sweet person as Vicki.  I can only imagine how she and her family are feeling right now, to have their home violated in such a way. Thank God the pets were left alone!  I pray things can be put back to rights very quickly, and that Vicki and her family will regain their peace of mind quickly as well.  Praying also that nothing with meaning/irreplaceable was destroyed when the house was trashed :pray: ........

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Vicki.   Sending loads of hugs your way: :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

:hug:  I know it won't replace the little boy's games, but most libraries have computers that you can gain access to for a little while. I know its not 'your computer' but might make her feel better to be able to keep contact with her customers and via email.  Same for the little lads.   :hug:

Here's hoping the thieves end up getting nabbed by the same technology they stole  bear_thumb

Oh no!!!! How horrible.  We had our house burgled about 4 years ago, although not to that extent. the burglar took our change can with all of our Christmas money in it. As it turned out, another friend was also burgled at about the same time.  We put our heads together & figured out who it was.... the Best Man from our wedding!!!!!!  He wound up being arrested & we bought a safe.

Anyway, it is sooooo creepy knowing someone had been on your house! I can't imagine what it is like to have to clean up the mess & catalog what is gone

Vicki, my heart goes out to you!

Vicki, my heart goes out to you and your family...that is such an invasion and a dreadful feeling, my sister was burgled earlier this year and the worse of it, her 13 year old son was asleep on her bed the wholetime these low-lives were in her room ramsacking it....when my mum lived in Sydney, she was burgled over 1/2 dozen times in this particular area she moved to (not kidding)..they even stole her Maltese Terrior dogs...and mistreated a German Shepherd so badly that she was petrofied even when you patted her..the Insurance companies would no longer insure her due to everytime she purchased new stuff, they'd steal it again..she lost so much self esteem and didn't care in the end...so i got her to move up here where i am a much safer place.....It's so sad that these people can't earn their own way in life, but steal from others....i hope they catch them and lock em up! :hug:

bear_angry   And yet they throw you in prison and throw away the key if you fight back!  I'm so fed up with the coddled criminal justice systems!  That poor German Shephard...they must've been totally horrid if even she cringed in fear.   bear_cry   

LOL...maybe they needed a flock of vicious geese turned onto them  :crackup:   Oh ...except the daily cleanup,  bear_whistle , otherwise, they're perfect 'guard dogs'.
