In January 2015 Lolo went to to clean Grandpa's house -- he was up at the cabin with the Walls.
Shortly after she started calling me ... over and over. I was talking with someone so I ignored her. She finally called Kenzi and screamed get mom there are police cars all over here with guns.
I immediately jumped in the car and called her. She said she pulled up to Grandpas and a policeman came out with a gun and asked her who she was, told her to back down the driveway and get down.
The house was surrounded with officers, guns pulled, going through the house and walking around. About 6 police cars were in front.
I pulled up and they waved me away to the neighbors. An officer came over and explained the house had been broken into and they weren't sure if someone was still inside. They needed to know for sure that my dad wasn't home.
After about 20 minutes of watching and waiting they finally let Lolo leave the driveway and we pulled up.
Turns out on Saturday night his house was broken into. On Sunday they caught the guys in SL with some of his stuff in his car. They sent the NSL police over. They knocked and no one answered so they left.
The next morning SL PD called NSL again. They were curious why nothing had been reported missing or a break in hadn't been reported. An officer went over and this time walked around back. When he saw the broken window he called for back up. They had no idea where my dad was. Why he hadn't called the police. They worried he was inside.
Lolo just happened to pull up as the police were arriving and they were searching the house.
They stole a few things, made a mess and left most of the valuable stuff. They were younger kids 18 - 20 and had drug addictions.
It was a bit scary for Lolo, unnerving for Grandpa ... but a great story for all of us! Plus he got some great new carpet!!!
