Burglars fix snack for child they bring to crime www.privateofficer.com

ATLANTA GA July 22 2008 — Thieves stole thousands of dollars worth of equipment from an Atlanta daycare center over the weekend, according to officials.
The incident happened at the A Thru Z Childcare and Learning Center on Fairburn Road in southwest Atlanta.
The thieves stole a $30,000 security system, CD players, TVs and a laundry basket. Food and other items were tossed around the center. Police said the suspects stole the daycare’s telephones and the monitoring system but left the cameras.
Investigators said they believe the suspects brought a child along for the crime. Police said it appeared the people who broke into the daycare took time to fix the child a snack in the daycare’s kitchen. Cheese sauce, juice and ramen noodles were made

We’re going to say about $50,000 worth of equipment was stolen,” said assistant manager Sheila Gipson.
That includes an elaborate video monitoring system Gipson said was worth about $30,000.
“We can go back and play back and see what happened yesterday, the day before that and all month long, we could go back and see what happened. That was our prized possession,” said Gipson.
Gipson said not having the monitoring equipment hurts them because they have the system for everyone’s safety and to help parents feel more comfortable being away from their children.
The daycare center has been closed for the day. They hope to open again Tuesday.
