Taking Candy From a Child: Thieves Steal Family’s Christmas Gifts and Their Dog

In the annals of thefts, this may be the coldest crime since the Grinch Stole Christmas. Burglars in Mesquite not only stole wrapped Christmas gifts but the Rusaw family’s dog, Candy, for good or bad measure.

The Rusaw family’s apartment was broken into and the thieves took everything including their teacup Yorkshire terrier. The gifts were for 13-year-old Cameron Rusaw, who simply says that they can keep his gifts but “I just want my dog back.”

If caught, I would strongly encourage a plea. This is not one you want to put in front of a jury outside of the Klingon Empire.
