I agree that it is a sad state of affairs when stuff like this happens. We were at a major national tournament level tournament last year when we noticed two ladies in their 50's gathering up tornado head gear in a mesh bag. My son's went in their bag and i literally had to take it back out. They must have had 20 pair.

I work and live with at risk kids daily, many of whom have been deprived of basic needs and stole literally to live. It was modeled to them as right and my wife and i have to literally re-establish the norms in their life.

They were working the State tournament when Gavin lost his DVD player and knowing some of their backgrounds they were given a good close hard look. It comes with the territory and profession, but i have them account for every item in their possesion and i go through rooms, do inventories and question when something pops up out of place.

What i am trying to say is this; somebody knows who took these items--a parent or a friend who saw the new addition of a nice dvd player or a new singlet.

I preach everyday to my kids that if you hold yourself accountable then you have nothing to worry about. Mistakes and poor decisions take place daily, not admitted or dealing with those becomes a lifelong problem
