Midnight Robbery

As I wrote before there are now four empty homes on our block. Three are cleared out. The occupant of the fourth went away for a weekend and never returned, leaving her possessions unattended. I think it's sad that the children don't respect their mother enough to come and take the things mom treasured to her. Yes folks, those things are up for grabs. Come and get them. Preferably around midnight when the few remaining neighbors might not see. In this case the neighbor did see, called the Sheriff's department. They came, quickly, but too late. The old lady's house was tossed, again.
There is a six foot tall wooden fence, but after all these storms we've had, there are now several openings to the property. Pick your favorite route!
As Ray pointed out, it's not good for us to live in a crime ridden neighborhood.
I feel somewhat responsible for the empty place, but it's up to the children to make arrangements to secure the home owners things.
