Waldo Canyon Fire Evacuees Return To Find Property Burglarized, Vandalized « CBS Denver

"COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4)- Some evacuees from the Waldo Canyon Fire are returning home to find they were burglarized.

One couple’s car was stolen right out of their garage. Thieves also took jewelry and computers.

“It’s almost as bad as a house burned down because you feel violated. There are people out there who prey upon victims and people that are already suffering, so I feel like I’ve been hit by a train,” said Waldo Canyon Fire evacuee Linda Burton.

So far 22 homes have been reported as being burglarized while evacuees were waiting out the fire.

The evacuated neighborhoods weren’t the only ones targeted. About 60 cars were broken into while evacuees were staying in nearby hotels.

Police in Colorado Springs are still compiling crime reports and not everyone has been allowed to return home. Some 10,000 people remain evacuated. Police have not commented on whether they expect to receive more reports of burglaries or vandalism."


I can only imagine how bad things are getting in Colorado as well as the east coast dealing with their power outages... Thoughts and prayers.

Unbelievable!

G'damn vultures!

Grand kids told me their house was broken into a week or so ago and they are not near the fires, seems a lot of people in the neighborhood were robbed. The police seem to think that there will be more of this while fire is going on in the semi unaffected areas as more and more people are being forced out.

It will never stop amazing me what mankind is capable of no matter what the situation.

Sniper, vulture is to nice. They usually only take from the dead.

I personally like the signs that say....

"LOOTERS WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT!"

"Looters will be shot, Survivors will be shot again"

[Taz Baby]

I like the one that say's ::: Trespasser's will be shot and Survivor's will be turned into feed.

As for the looting.... This is the beginning of what is to come

I'm still furious about this situation and I'm not even going through it.

A number of years ago, they busted a burglery ring locally. These scum would watch the obituaries in the paper, and then go hit the house of the deceased; and possibly other family, during the funeral.

Same here and it still happens from time to time.
