Back in August I had a featured post which was about a wonderful blog I had run across from a real person...a young woman by the name of Molly who blogged about her search for a new home in Charlotte, NC. It was a great read and many of you stopped by her blog and subscribed to hear the rest of her tale.
It was disappointing (but terribly understandable) that with everything going on in her life PLUS a home search, she wasn't posting minute by minute updates for us eavesdropping real estate agents, in her unique style, about every detail of her experience...would have LOVED to follow that!
Well, Molly did find a home! She eventually posted a short blog that indicated she had moved in.
Then the unthinkable happened. On December 29, 2009, her new home was broken into and her beloved beagle was injured in the process.
I'm sick for her. She is very, very angry and it has colored how she looks at things. Who could blame her? She posted her first blog article of the new year about the experience and she called it Horrible. It is horrible...and I wish we could make it better.
Maybe a little moral support is in order and a prayer or two that she regains some of the "new home bliss" that was robbed from her along with the television. Realtors can surely understand better than most how much she has been violated.
It's Simple...When You Have A Great Agent!

Sarah, the feeling of being violated is terrible. I hope she can sleep peacefully and that her dog is ok! Thanks for sharing!
Sarah, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'm glad Molly's so angry--that can help get past the victim stage. I sent Molly a note.
SarahGray - I read her blog and about her ordeal. Makes me mad too. I will send her a note.
Sonja, don't mess with a persons dog...I'm with Molly about how I might handle the perpetrator!
Lottie, thank you. You make a great point.
Claude, thanks for visiting her blog. Since she is in your backyard I'm sure it's even harder to read!
SarahGray - thanks for letting us know. I stopped by to coment on her blog. I know hos it feels - happened to us years ago. An awful experience.
Jeff
This is terrible and I hope that she never goes through this again. I also hope they catch the perpetrator.
Ohmy gosh, how horrifying for her. I missed this the first time around, so I intend to read her journey as I found her telling of her story to be so well written. Poor dear. I've been there and it isn't a nice place to be - robbed and feeling violated.
SarahGray - Thanks for the email this morning about this. I'm absolutely gutted for Molly and The Colonel.
For those of you that have never read Molly's blog, take a few minutes to check it out. I hope she finds time to continue blogging more often, she's definitely got a knack for it.
Jeff, yes, unfortunately many of us share the experience. Her telling of it is gut wrenching.
John, I too hope so...
Dedra, when you write as well as she does I am sure getting it on paper is a great step!
Matt, me too. Thanks for going by...I saw your comment to her. Sounds like it was all too real for you too!
ALL - Matt is right...Molly is a great blogger. I just wish this wasn't what had brought us back to her! Check it out!
Poor thing - what a shock for her to come home and find this and to just have moved in. I hope that she's able to put it behind her and move on with some peace of mind sooner rather than later. Bless you for pointing this out to us - you are amazing!
Have been there personally and it NOT good.
Feels like you're kinda' walking around in somebody's else house - not yours- after this happens... like someone might be in a closet, or under a bed... makes you want to load the gun!
It is horrible to hear that this happened. There has been a rise in burglaries with the bad economy and it's sad to hear of one happening to person so happy to start a new chapter in their life.
SarahGray - How good of you to keep up with this young woman and to share both her ups and downs. Just having an extra someone on your side at a time like this is so important.
