We were burglarized!

I so can not believe this. Alex, Jesus and I left to pick up the other kids and left the door unlocked for Gabby when she got home from school and in our absence some selfish, troubled people or person stole from us. Poor Gab, she came home to an open front and back door and the refrigerator was open too. She closed the doors then walked to my room and turned the tv on and started her homework. She said that a little while later she heard some footsteps and walked into the living room to find that the front door was once again opened. SCARY!! She did not see anyone nor they her. The police and I think that they were downstairs when she got home and let themselves out when they thought she would not see them. In some ways good thing she was deaf and did not investigate further. We got home shortly after that and Roly a little while later. He went to put his stuff away and got really mad asking who had been in his room and why they had taken all his games for the game cube. We explained to him that no one was home, and that is when I asked Gab if she had been in the room. She said no and then told me what she had found when she got home. Then we all started to look around and noticed things missing. All the kid's gameboys (4 in all) were taken with the exception of Genaro's because it was not in plain sight. Games that went with them and Rojelio also discovered he was missing his turtle bank and his packets of hot chocolate. Carmen was missing her money she had left on her dresser and her shoe purse which was stocked full of candy and her braclet. She was not happy about her candy being gone! Gabby was missing a ceramic bear and a Mark McQuire baseball card. Jesus was so upset because he had just purchased his gameboy advanced sp two weeks ago. Well the police could not dust for finger prints because of course we touched everything. Go figure you would think that we would remember after watching CSI. Such is life we get keys for the kids now and no more leaving the door unlocked. I am so thankful that Gabby was watched over and that nothing bad happened. Just yesterday the kids took the card out of the direct tv and when they put it back in it would not work, thus the reason Gabby went to my room to watch tv. Things happen for a reason, had the tv been working Gab would have done her homework in the living room and who knows what would have played out then. The kids took it in strides, I think they were more angry and frustrated then anything. The perps also messed with our birds and the kids didn't like that either. So no more unlocked doors and more thanks to Heavenly Father for protecting my family.

Oh my gosh how scary! I am glad that no one was hurt. That is too bad about their gameboys. Our kids would be crushed if theirs were taken. It makes you so mad!!! Oh that sucks!
