Police dusting for fingerprints
This morning when Joel and Alma arrived at the Youth Center to open for the day they discovered that the Center had been broken into. From the evidence it appeared that after attempting to break in through the door the burglars were able to bend the bars that covered a window, break glass panes and enter. Once inside they destroyed the door frame in order to enter the office--where they proceeded to pry open the locks of all four desks. Items taken from the center were a desktop computer, monitor, keyboard, auto-volt regulator and about P2,000 ($45) in cash. They also scattered files and other office items around the office.
The team reported the break-in to the police who came to look at the scene, take pictures and dust for fingerprints.
We are all thankful that even though we have lost some items no one was at the center or injured. Normally the team would have gone to the bank to withdraw money for bills on Friday, but this week they hadn't--so we did not lose as much cash as we might have. Also, there were several guitars in the office that were not touched. We have learned some lessons regarding securing the Center.
Pray for the team as we move forward with our eyes firmly on the goal to make disciples.
