Thief stole joy

I would like to say thank you to the employee at Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center who received my daughter's purse after a patient found it in the emergency room trash can. She was quite devastated after finding the window of her Jeep smashed in and her purse missing. If Mr. Thief you stole her Kindle Fire, which we've blocked, a camera with no charger, her debit card which we cancelled and a $5 J. C. Penney gift card. Thank you for making our new home one that we live in fear; however, she did recover her Vera Bradley purse, her checkbook, the keys to her car and a $100 gift card for Maurice's. Yes, this break-in was costly, it stole our joy. In the end, you only stole things which we can recover. I do hope that you're happy that you devastated a sweet caring person who did not deserve this. Yes, you did. A job well done.
