someone broke into our house!
Ok well, our house is FIVE houses down our school, safe area, and before I was born, my parents have been living there for liek probably 5 or 10 years longer!
And then one day my mom and us went to my grandma's house and when we went home, the second door was open (there's two doors in te front, a white one, and a see through one in front of it) and the lights are on.
We weren't even sure of what to do because this never happened to us or the neighborhood and frankly the visits from the police at our school to talk about us about these things didn't stick into our heads.
So..we decided to go inside.
We opened the door and there was this HUGE stick on the side of the house so we BOLTED right out of there and ran to the neighbor's house and rang the doorbell.
We aren't really close with our neighbors but still say Hi and stuff and he was nice enough to go into our house and look into every room to see if it was safe.
And there was noone there so after some re-assuring we all got the courage to stay inside.
And it was so hard for my siblings and I to go inside because we watch so many horror movies, we love them and want to see more, and while I'm in highschool they're only under grade 7 so our imaginations went wild and it was just terrible, we were on the verge of tears!
My mom called our aunts first and then I called then police.
There was a mess EVERYWHERE because everything was moved around but nothing was taken that I could see. There was even a HUGE box of coins and they didn't even take it and I'm like "wtf..maybe they're nice burglers and realized what they've done so they left it like this and left?"
The police eventually came but my aunt told us to shut our mouth until our dad comes home, cuz we'd never know what he keeps. He's the boss of the family so he must have big secret locations of his things.
The police looked around everywhere but the basement (my dad lives down there, everything is his) and when he finished my dad finally came home, and we have so much jewelery that we didn't notice but my dad did that they took all the REAL jewelery!
My mom wanted to go to her home country because our grandpa is sick. Her papers and stuff that she went through the trouble to get and fill (because her english and words aren't so Good) were taken.
We thought they didn't take anything but actaully, they took all the big stuff and MY DAD noticed!
From the basement, we have his huge desk with bills and papaers, etc. I could never find anything important there at all but those guys/that guy did! They took $5500 that secretly he's been keeping for my mom to go home and took $6000 of hsi own money. His WHOLE wallet was tooken which included all our family cards, health cards, etc and my brother's wallet with $200 and our extra money of $200 and my sister's money $100.
all my lcothes were around because they checked the pockets just in case too!
there was a big shoe print on the door because they must have kicked it (we noticed before the police came) and we found other clues too that might help them find the person and we didn't touch the door knob at all (all this we got form tv so that it would help)
Oh, when our neighbor went into our house for us, he found the back door totally open so he had to close it. So when the second police came, he couldn't check for fingerprints, which could have helped a lot, the foot prints in the snow of the back yard they said wasn't very clear or good enough so they couldn't check that and the shoe print on the door wasn't very visable so they couldn't check that either.
We found out the the 'long rod stick' we found was actually from the side of our door.
It was absolutely terrible...
All our valubles were taken and we reported to the police a lot of things and the missing items took TWO PAGES! of hsi notebook. We didn't report all the real jewelery though, theere must have been 50 but we only reported 6 to make it easier for them (which was really hard for me, other people worked hard at their job to buy it for us or our parents themselves and I won't let the robber get away with even ONE thing!)
So...what do we do now? I mean I'm so betriffied. They even took our key form our dad's desk which I dont know how they found and didn't even take my brother's key when it was visible!
Has anyone had something similar to them? Was the problem solved? What are the chances something good will happen to us?
Any chance they will show or bring the theif to us so I can punch them in the face? I'm weaker then a kindergarden but atleast one light punch on his/her/their face would do. Maybe I can bring my strong friends.
And there's noone we can think that would do it either.
What's creepy is that they broke in while we're gone and planned everything good, which to me sounds liek they've been stalking us and found out that we go to our grandma's house for certain areas every sunday.
We're so scared. My dad canceled all his cards which means now I guess we're poor. We weren't rich but had a lot of money and I just feel so..low being poor. Our school has this thing once a year where we help the community by donating money and on christmas, our Chaplin will go to the..unaffordable families' home (some can't even afford heat) and give them money. we donated A LOT! Now I feel so pathetic..I feel like i should be asking for the money back...
And I didn't tell my dad that I used up all my lunch money this week so I guess I'm starving for the whole week.

If things were so well planned out, and they pretty much knew where to find your family's valuables, then I would be willing to guess it wasn't some strange person stalking you, but more likely someone who knows you- someone who has been invited into your home as a friend.
Just because someone doesn't seem suspect, doesn't mean they didn't do it.
You don't really want to punch people in the face. I know you feel violated, but there is no sense in sinking to their level of doing things.
As for Christmas, what is most important is that you have each other- that is the whole point of the holiday. It's nice to be able to give and receive gifts, but it's priceless that you have your family to spend the holidays with.
You, personally, need to not worry so much over your parents' financial situation. I know that you feel you should, but it isn't your place. Why? Listen to you- you feel you should go hungry all week when you know your parents would NEVER want that for you.
Don't feel low and pathetic. You are a victim of a crime. The CRIMINAL is the one who is low and pathetic, not you- not your family.

First of all, you need to look at the bright side of things. The most important thing is that your family is SAFE. The things that were taken can be replaced. Everything that was broken can be fixed. The money that was lost can be earned back. The police will do everything they can to catch whoever did that to your family.
In the meantime, all you can do is be thankful that they took tangible things and not your family's lives. As long as you have each other, things will work out.
If the thief ever returns, and you are home, it would be EXTREMELY unwise to deal with them yourself (aka "punching him in the face" will get yourself killed!). Just call the police and let them handle it. Don't jeopardize your safety just because you want to get even. Nothing good will come from trying to get revenge on your own.
Your family should consider getting better security for your home, such as deadbolts, and make sure to tell your neighbors to keep an eye on your house while your family is gone for long periods of time.
People can do really low things and unfortunately your family had to deal with one of those low things. Just stay positive and confident that your family can bounce back. Yes, some small sacrifices may have to be made, but all the damage can be fixed with time and patience.
