It has been confirmed. The people that broke into my house in November are sitting in jail as I type this. I spoke with the detective this afternoon,and he said that the recent (and previously noted) burglary ring bust in Del City did in fact include those who were in my house without authorization.
With warrants, the police searched the houses of those caught, and found a missing credit card of mine in one of the houses. That credit card was on my dresser and pending destruction when it was swiped, because it was near expiration and I had already received its replacement. The day after the robbery I reported it stolen, so I know that it wasn't used for criminal benefit. Glad I was able to get one last "charge" out of it, even though it had expired.
Unfortunately, in confessions given by the perps, all of the stolen goods were sold within 2-3 days of the crime, so it's unlikely I'll get any of my stuff back. But that's okay in a sense, because at least I know they won't be coming back to visit anytime soon. If the choice is getting stuff back or having them in jail, I'll take the latter any day. Though I'd still like to have my digital photos back... :(
Many who are burglarized, such as I have been, are not granted the slightest sense of restitution. So I am definitely grateful to be among the more fortunate in this regard. I'd therefore like to send out a big thank you to the Del City Police Department. I will sleep easier this evening thanks to your efforts. Hopefully the criminals will not.
