Burglars Steal Ohio Family's Christmas Gifts, Toys

PAINESVILLE, Ohio — A family in northeast Ohio says burglars have stolen their Christmas.

Whoever broke into the home of John Velardo and his family in Painesville Friday afternoon took two televisions, an Xbox game system, a laptop – and at least $300 in freshly purchased Christmas gifts.

Velardo tells WJW-TV ( ) he's particularly disgusted that the thieves stole toys out of the toy box in his son's bedroom. He says that's heartless. http://bit.ly/uHPL1p

A neighbor says she saw two men putting a big-screen TV into a blue-green SUV or van on Friday but thought someone from the family was home and allowed the television to be taken.

Must be those pesky atheists Darr's always railing about.

hey gray...you know Darr puzzles me. I recently saw posts of his where he was vigorously defending Gay Rights, so as it stands today, I am unsure how to read Darr. Am I being fooled? :)
