This letter is for the person or persons who broke into my home by kicking in my door on July 3 or 4. Instead of having a happy Fourth, we were talking to the police because you felt the need to break into someone’s home.

If you should happen to read this, I really hope you all had a nice Fourth. I would also like to thank you for not stealing more than you did when you entered my home. It is evident that what belongs to others means nothing to you; you just took what does not belong to you and what someone else worked hard to get.

You took from my loved ones who are no longer with us. Now their memories and things are gone by your hands.

The amount of money you stole was a great amount to someone living on a monthly disability like myself and having to make every cent count, but it did not bother you when you walked away with my things.

The papers that were taken also mean nothing to you, only to us. Replacing these papers will be very costly but I have no money to replace them.

As for the jewelry taken, most of it can be replaced except for a few items that are nonreplaceable. Items from my deceased mother, grandfather, and husband cannot be replaced. You have to live with what you have done to honest people and one day you will have to answer for your crimes to a much bigger person than I am, and we all know who that person is, the one above us all.

I have lived in Maine all my life and have worked to buy what I have. People like you place no value on other people’s things or you would get a life instead of a life of crime. This is something that I thought I would never have to deal with living in Maine; people like you are making a bad name for our state. Nancy Brooks East Corinth
