Sometimes you think nothing you hear in today's jaded, self-absorbed world will really surprise you. Occasionally, though, a story comes along that just makes your jaw drop to the floor in disbelief.
One such story happened recently in Lebanon, Ohio, an all-American town where you'd expect people to be pretty decent. That notion was debunked, however, when thieves broke into an area couple's home.
While, certainly, a home robbery is nothing out of the ordinary, what made this deplorable act even worse is that the couple whose home was broken into had just lost their 2-year-old little boy. The grieving parents left their house, in order to go to the funeral home to plan their deceased toddler's funeral. This, evidently, was just what the crooks in question were waiting for and they took advantage of the "opportunity" to break in the back of the house and steal items, including jewelry and an antique firearm.
Authorities are convinced that the robbers in question were fully aware of the couple's situation, which is why they timed their burglary the way they did.
Everybody knows times are hard, economically, but have people sunk so low that they would do something so appallingly coldhearted?
These parents already had to face burying their kid, which was horrifying enough, but to add more grief by robbing their home at their most vulnerable point really takes a bunch of SCUMBAGS.
As of this writing, the robbers have not been caught, but I hope, when they are captured, they put them under the jail.
