Unit 02 Our Home was Burglarized

We could not believe our eyes when we returned home from a two-week vacation. Our home was a complete mess. What on earth had happened in our absence? Judging from the chaos, our home must have been broken into by thieves. Our suspicion was confirmed later when we found many of our valuable things had vanished without a trace. My laptop, my sister’s violin, and the antiques my father had collected over the years were all missing from their original places. But what angered me most was that the thieves had damaged most of our furniture. A window had been smashed, the wardrobe had been ransacked, and even the mattress in my bedroom had been removed. Fortunately, they didn’t take away my mother’s jewelry box, which was locked away in the safe. Still, it was a great loss. Besides, it would cost us a lot of money to repair things and put them back in order.
