Robbed!

By Lizz Marshall and Orion Syth

On Wednesday January 9^th one of Forrest Bird Charter School’s own Orion Syth and his family were robbed while he was attending school. Although he was not the only one robbed by this criminal. How safe are our houses?

        Orion was robbed at his house in Sagle. He was robbed mainly of guns and his Xbox. The criminal also took several items of value to the family. The criminal has not been found yet. Who knows why he would rob a family already financially troubled. Orion states “Why do people rob? It would be so much easier if nobody did.”

       He was not the only one who was robbed. Four other families in Sagle have been were robbed. We know that it is the same person because he stole Xbox’s and guns from each house. Alaura Syth states that if she finds him she will make him go to jail for as long as possible.

       This all comes to a question, how safe are our houses? Everyone everywhere needs to plan safe, act safe, and be safe. People need to start doing stuff to protect their homes, families and money. You should start locking your doors when you leave, store private documents away or shred them, and don’t leave your valuables out in the open.

Another question is will you be prepared if this happens to you? And are our houses really safe? Justice isn’t always guaranteed, especially with the amount of crime in Bonner County. But one thing is looking bright for Bonner County, the number of robberies and general crime has gone down immensely in the last five years.
