Two Phoenix firefighters are likely calling Christmas anything but magical and jolly. A nightmare, a feeling of violation and angst would probably be a start.
That’s because while Jake Normali and Jacob Walshire were working the overnight shift, thieves broke into their home and made off with thousands of dollars’ worth of items, FOX 10 reported.
But, the most precious thing missing is Normaili’s dog, Bear. Another dog, Coto, has returned.
“It does take away a big peace of mind living here. We never thought this was gonna happen to us, and we never thought we were in an unsafe environment, and we like our neighborhood and we think it’s really safe, but this obviously changes that a little bit,” Wilshire told reporters.
They suspect the thieves broke in through a sliding door. Among the items stolen were guns, personal information, birth certificates, social security card, passports and Christmas presents. Tools were used to open a safe.
“The next step is just to find my dog and try to not pretend it didn’t happen, but try to just go back to our normal lives,” said Normali.
“Our neighbors have come together and help compile a Ring footage and their security cameras, and they’ve been sending us stuff to try and give the police, so they can maybe put something together,” said Walshire.
