The cops were called and finger prints taken and they told us to just sit tight, that when they found him they would be in contact. Well a week later, the guy came back. While I was home. In the shower. Thankfully he didn't get in and our neighbor saw him and chased him through Evanston after they called the police. Cops came and they caught him. And they have evidence that he sold some of our stuff to a pawn shop (I had to go and identify the goods) so they have him on attempted breaking and entering plus possession of stolen goods. AND when they picked him up, he had stuff on him from another recent break-in. So they arrest him but he posts bail. So we go to court. And he doesn't show. A warrant gets sent out for him and another court date is set. And again he doesn't show. Finally he's picked up for something else and they hold him in jail so our 3rd court date he finally has to show because he's in their custody! At first the prosecutor seems great and she wants to go after him hard--he has a history of break-ins and doesn't seem to be changing his ways. However by the 3rd court date, things have changed and the judge lets him go. With no punishment for everything he's done except for time served. Now I took off work each time to go sit in court for these hearings and we never got 75% of our stuff back. The cops knew he was the one who committed the crime but he was never charged so he got off scott free. <br />I hate that you guys went through this but just know a law suit or charges may not bring closure and you may feel more upset afterwards. <br /><br />Oh and my husband will google his name every so often and turns out he's now living in NC and has pulled a lot of the same stuff there that he did here. Makes me mad he was never held accountable and I'm just now starting to feel safe again in my home (granted we moved since this took place but still).Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16603887698496223439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750374666068992865.post-1316810736387995002013-10-03T19:46:51.231-05:002013-10-03T19:46:51.231-05:00I'm a lawyer and I say go after the guy.

It's the only way for you guys to get closure and for him to learn that he can't pull crap like that on innocent people!<br /><br />-Kate<br />www.theflorkens.comthe Florkenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916792843117696002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750374666068992865.post-70846329055715217042013-10-03T13:11:43.660-05:002013-10-03T13:11:43.660-05:00Wow!

Especially if your husband is suffering emotionally from it. It would give you both a sense of closure and justice will be brought upon this jacka**. <br /><br />I'm just glad you're both ok *hugs*Kate at Green Fashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11104665064880942943noreply@blogger.com
