This morning I arrived home after volunteering at school (around 10:00 am ish)...I came home to a nightmare.  We were burglarized (and badly...they took EVERYTHING...things you would not even think would be of interest including many things from [our childrens] rooms).  Our TVs are gone our silverware, our passports, walkie talkies, kids nintendos, social security cards, checkbook, coin collection, wedding ring (and all jewelry) ETC.  As you can imagine I am very very shaken.  Our house was totally rummaged through (drawers,closets etc.) .  My children are at my friends house now as we are trying to clean up and remove the finger print dusing stuff.  Of course things can be replaced but, our main concern is for our children to feel safe and not think this is going to happen again etc.

I was less than four minutes from arriving to him here in my house.  I am sending the photos so you (some of you live around me) can be on the look out ( also, the police said that there was a similar burglary on Feb. 11th - with this same guy they think from the description) around Sabino Canyon/Cloud (where some of you live).   If you  wouldn't mind passing this info. on to your neighbors/friends and letting them know about this guy (so they can see the car --- although the blazer is a stolen vehichle) --- you never know if someone knows him/has seen him.  Please be safe and lock all doors/set alarms, activate neighborhood watch groups etc." 

The story does not end here however. The emails continued just a week later on Thursday the 18th ...

The power of email. This was one of our friends that got burglarized on Tuesday morning and they live in the Swan and River area. She emailed these pictures out to St. Michael's, where her kids go to school. Someone from the school emailed them to their baseball team. Someone from the baseball team emailed them to neighbors they knew in the area. One of the neighbors printed copies of the pictures and was walking door-to-door to pass them out and she actually saw the truck in her neighbor's driveway 3 houses away. She called 911 and the guy was arrested Wednesday morning. He was one street away from where these pictures were taken on Tuesday morning. Channel 4 is running a spot tonight on the evening news about the power of email. Unfortunately, our friends did not get any of their stolen items back. The guy said he sold everything and used the money to buy drugs. We are getting an alarm installed.
