He heard it first from Donald.  Francis immediately contacted Mama Helen for details.  Their little sister Carine had gone to the store to buy cooking oil and other small things for their meal.  She took a moto since it was too far to walk.  That's a motorcycle taxi.  On the return trip someone tossed a barricade across the road and the moto had to stop.  The man made both the driver and Carine put all their valuables on the ground, including her few groceries.  Fortunately she only had 1.000 F on her, but they got her phone too.  The thief told them he needed to have Christmas too.  

This is an all too common story.  November and December are the months when crime increases in the city.  I've never been able to figure that one out.  People stealing from other people so they and their families can have Christmas.  It makes no sense at all. 

 We are praising God that Carine was not violated.  It could have been so much worse.
