SPOKANE VALLEY POLICE ARE LOOKING FOR A GROUP OF BURGLARS
WHO LOOTED THE HOME OF A FAMILY WHO'VE DEVOTED THEIR
LIVES TO HELPING OTHERS WORKING AS MISSIONARIES.
TONIGHT IN A STORY YOU'LL ONLY SEE ON KXLY FOUR, JEFF
HUMPHREY JOINS US LIVE AT THE SPRAGUE AVENUE WALMART,
WHERE THE THIEVES WASTED LITTLE TIME TRYING TO CASH
IN ON THEIR TAKE.
JEFF??
THESE WERE CLASSIC DAYLIGHT BURGLARS WHO QUICKLY UNWRAPPED
THE CHRISTMAS PRESENTS THEY STOLE AND JAMMED OVER
HERE TO WALMART TO SPEND GIFT CARDS BEFORE THE VICTIMS
COULD CANCEL THEM.
WALMART HAS THE THIEVES ON SURVEILLANCE VIDEO.
THE RAMSEY FAMILY NEEDS THEIR STUFF BACK SO THEY CAN
CONTINUE THEIR MISSIONARY WORK IN CHINA.
FOR 30 YEARS NOW, THE RAMSEY FAMILY HAS TRAVELED TO,
EVEN LIVED IN CHINA AS PART OF THEIR FAR FLUNG MINISTRY
THAT FOCUSES ON THEIR FAITH AND HELPING DEAF CHILDREN.
LEROY RAMSEY 27;03 we're teachers and so we went as
english teachers and we just share our faith as the
opportunities come about and they do.
god opens those doors really easily.
27;12  
IN ALL THOSE YEARS ABROAD THE RAMSEYS NEVER HAD ANYTHING
STOLEN.
BUT ONCE BACK STATESIDE, SOMEONE KICKED THROUGH THEIR
FRONT DOOR IN A DAYLIGHT CHRISTMAS EVE BURGLARY.
28;13 and so we were all out for three hours.
just getting some food for christmas dinner and things
like that.
we weren't gone long at all.
so it was a bit of a shock to come walking in and
the first thing i saw was under the christmas tree,
every present was gone 28;28
SO WERE THE LAP TOPS AND COMPUTERS THE RAMSEYS USE
DURING THEIR MISSIONARY WORK IN ASIA AND THE SERMONS
THEY OFFER HERE IN SPOKANE.
32;18 he teaches and preaches some at our church,
the spokane deaf church with an interpreter, and so
all that's on his computer.
my computer had all my ministry work with a deaf program
in china called hearts and hands 32;39 
THE RAMSEYS SAY REPLACING THE ELECTRONICS WILL BE
EXPENSIVE.
THE THIEVES ALSO STOLE THE COUPLE'S PASSPORTS ROBBING
THEM OF THEIR ABILITY TO KIDS IN CHINA.
JANE RAMSEY 29;41 because we do travel back and forth
a lot internationally with our ministry, losing our
passports, we just got new ones last year that were
good for ten years.we just got our china visas that
were good for ten years, so we have to start from
scratch 29;56
THE RAMSEY'S TOOK THE TIME TO RECORD THE SERIAL NUMBERS
OF THEIR VALUABLES SO IF THEY ARE PAWNED OR RECOVERED
IN STOLEN PROPERTY RAID THOSE ITEMS WILL BE RETURNED
TO THEM.
IF YOU GOT A NEW BIKE , CHAINSAW OR HANDGUN FOR CHRISTMAS,
TAKE TIME THIS WEEKEND TO WRITE THOSE SERIAL NUMBERS
DOWN.
REPORTING IN SPOKANE, JEFF HUMPHREY, KXLY FOUR.
