Robbery

Our plumber called at 7:45 a.m. yesterday morning and said the house had been broken in to. They stole all his tools ($1,000 value) and cut the wires from under the house and inside the house. They were coming back for more, but didn't for some reason. They took my faucets, cut the cable/phone wires, and some of the security system wires. Our insurance will cover our stuff, but the plumber is out all that money because he didn't have insurance on it. I'm hoping they will pawn it and we will be able to find it. We do know who did it because a neighbor saw them coming up the driveway with the wire over their shoulders and a back pack full of stuff. He overheard them talking saying they needed to go back and get the rest and another boy said he was too tired. When they turned the copper in to the recycling center, they asked for ID and one of them gave him his drivers license. He lives on our road, so it was pretty obvious. It will be Monday before the police will do anything because the detective has the day off (that really doesn't make sense to me, but whatever).

The insulators were supposed to start yesterday so I had to call and reschedule them for next Wednesday. So we will now do the sheetrock the week of the 7th. The electricians are going to go back Saturday and redo everything. Kenny wants to stay down there, but it's just too hot. I don't know what we are going to do. Pray for wisdom and a hedge of angels around our place to protect it from anymore theft.

If these boys get arrested, it will be worth it because they are suspected of stealing a lot of wire and other things around town and throughout the community so I'm glad we had a witness and maybe they will go to jail this time.
