OMG - we've been robbed!

And if you are acquainted with your neighbors at all, check with them and see whether anybody noticed anything--they'll also most likely want to be aware that someone is breaking into houses in broad daylight!

We think its the neighbor's son. We told the police that. He broke in 6 years ago and our RB Sammy got him good (blood everywhere) but he ended up hurting her back. but its a different MO than before.... so we're not sure.

I'm so glad you all are ok. What a way to spend the 4th huh?

Are there any other neighbors who might have seen something? If it was a neighborhood kid, someone might have seen him around your house and recognized him.

On the other hand, it seems strange that the neighbor's son would pass up other goodies and zero in on the jewelry. That sounds more like a professional burglar who has a specific "market" in mind.

Sorry to hear about this. My parents house was broken into (while they slept) so I know how scarey it can be. You feel violated - that's your stuff that you worked hard for and nobody should touch it. I'm awfully sorry.

Perhaps you can contact some pawn shops in your area (if you have any)? Give them descriptions of what was stolen. Perhaps whoever stole them will try to pawn them off.

Good luck. I'm glad nobody (including your animals) weren't hurt.

Take care.
