The human hurt by property crime

To the lowlife, despicable person who broke into my son’s home in Lake Stevens on Wednesday with a crowbar and took everything that gives him a little happiness, you should be deeply ashamed. You took possessions from a 37-year-old man who has autism and a developmental disability. He has a low Social Security income and receives food assistance, and you took his food and milk too. You emptied every drawer and cabinet onto his floors, so he came home to a horrible mess. You used a crowbar to break his bedroom window and then used it to rip the door and frame off the other locked bedroom door. He has 24/7 staff and needs to have alarms on the doors and windows, you disabled those, so those will have to be repaired. as well as the window. The sheriff has all the serial numbers from the items you took. If you have any decency you will return those items. We have worked for a year to make this a warm, homey place for our son and you ruined it all in one afternoon. To anyone who knows this person, please turn him in so that he doesn’t continue this lifestyle. He invaded my son’s home, privacy and sense of safety. He needs to pay the consequences of these acts.
