Violet, a very nice lady in her 70's, owns and runs a
doll shop in our local small town mall. She contacted me several months ago and
encouraged me to put my babies on consignment in her shop. She usually has 2 of them
on display at all times but because of the Halloween holiday I took an additional 2 to her
store...3 of the 4 were in cute little Halloween costumes. The 3 costumed babies
were cutely displayed in a baby bassinet near the front of the store while Kyleah was in a
basket near the rear.
I guess these babies were just too tempting because 4
Hispanic women in their 40's walked in while one of the women struck up a conversation
with the only customer there...while distracted the other 3 women quickly swooped up the 3
costumed babies and walked out of the mall completely unnoticed.
I was just sick to my stomach...poor Violet feels just
horrible as you can imagine but it certainly wasn't her fault she runs the shop alone and
was in the back looking for something for the customer when the 4 women came in. The
customer said she was a bit suspicious but did not see the 3 leave with the babies.
This customer didn't even realize what had happened until a couple minutes later when
she noticed the empty bassinet. Security came quickly but the kidnappers were
nowhere to be seen by then. The police were contacted and a report was filed but I'm
sure nothing will or can be done about this...just a total loss. These lowlifes
have stolen over $800.00 from me and I'm really furious but there doesn't
seem to be anything I can do!!!!
If you've read this far into my story I thank you...I
am upset about the financial loss but even more about the emotional
one. These were my BABIES!!!!
I really doubt these people will try to sell the
babies on ebay or the Internet they probably don't even own computers but they may
try to sell them out on the streets so for those who live local please keep your eye
out for them. They all have hand rooted mohair and their little butts have my
signature and date when I lovingly finished them.
