Unborn child has been robbed.

Poor Cade man hasn't even been born yet and he's already been robbed!

Apparently someone came into Cody's house last weekend when he was out of town in Lubbock and took a few things. I say "came into" because there was no sign of a "break in" which tells me that Cody most likely left the door unlocked.

He lives way out in the country. Our closest neighbor is probably a good mile away and you can't see the house from the road at all. This means whoever it was knows who Cody is and that he lives out there.

Anyway, the weird thing is they only took 3 things... Cody's boots (which are new and $$), a blank book of checks, and a jar of change that had about $250 in it. They didn't tear up the house, and they didn't care to take the 42" t.v. or the guns that were sitting out... so I guess we should be grateful that there wasn't more damage done.

The worst part is that the jar of change (which had a money counter on the top that showed the value) was being saved until July/Aug for Caden. Cody and I had decided that once he was born (because we need to have a birth certificate to do this) we were going to start him an account and start saving on it for him. I know it wasn't all that much but we hate that it's gone now because it was his, not ours. Poor little guy!

Although they didn't take much, they did get 2 of the things that would bother Cody the most. My dad put it pretty perfectly when he told Cody, "stealing a man's favorite pair of boots and a baby's money seems like it should be a hanging offense to me". :) Luckily, I've never had to deal with this kind of thing before. It just feels like you have been violated in that they have been in your home without you and had access to so much of your personal information. Creepy.
