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

    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
