A Denver family is living a nightmare before Christmas. Their holiday was shattered after burglars broke into their home and stole all the presents for their young daughter. One of their pets was hurt in the process.
Claudia, her husband, and their two-year-old daughter were only away for a night.
“We decided to stay with family out of town. It was just my husband, our daughter, and our dog,” she shared. “When we came back on Sunday, I found a note from my neighbor, along with a policeman’s business card. It said someone had broken into my house.”
Claudia’s neighbor, who was the first to notice the break-in, described hearing a loud commotion at 2 a.m. Saturday near 13th Avenue and Adams Street.
“She heard the cat screaming, and when she looked outside, she saw two men in dark clothing, hooded, one carrying a suitcase, the other a duffel bag,” Claudia said. “They had pried open the window near the front door to get inside.”
