    What I sometimes wonder is if these people have loved ones and family who have homes. What if someone did that to the home of one of their family. $44,000 worth of items is a serious loss. Glad the police acted quickly, but I hope the victims can recover some of their property

    When crimes of this scale happen, it raises questions about systems of checks and balances how was this amount taken without being flagged sooner?
