MADAM, We are writing to say how sad we were on New Year's Eve to come home at about 6.40pm to find we had been burgled, what violation the people have caused to us and to the whole of our home. We are Christians and we are praying that somehow good will come out of this whole sad situation. Have you any idea of the hurt and pain you have caused to us both" We lost my Mum in March and what you have taken is many sentimental memories for us both, these cannot be replaced. Last week I had a knee operation my whole system went into a state of shock, this will delay my recovery.

Whoever you are please think of what you have done, please consider returning what you have taken, this would give us great pleasure. Please ask for help, you or others who do these things can have help but you have to be willing. We are praying for you and others like you who do such horrible and senseless things to think there is another way.
