I recently invited some people over who I thought were my "Friends', when they left so did my wallet, and my sons christmas. Does anyone know where there are toy give aways so late in the season. I'm in the Turtlecreek, Pa. area. HELP!!!!!!
Thank you every one for your comments, and thank God for Toys for Tots!!!!! Christmas is back on..
The first order of business I would take would be to file a police report and press charges to the fullest.
First and foremost, file a police report and make sure to close-out ALL credit cards! You may be able to get some of it back if the police find anything with your name on it in their possession.
Try Craigs List... you may find some really inexpensive toys in good condition. Also try consignment shops and the Salvation Army.
First thing you ought to do is report this to the police. Being that you can provide a list of names they shouldn't have a hard time tracking down your wallet.
Call the Police.
File charges.
Report it to your credit card company and bank.
I hope you did all that????
Be careful of Identity Theft, too.
Ask at your son's school and maybe your local church.
Toys for Tots as well.
Sorry this happened!
That is horrible. I suggest freecycle and the free listings on Craigslist. If you go to church EVER at all, ask the minister where you attended.
I looked over your old questions - some of us get targeted when we are vulnerable. Seems like the more open, kind, and bright we are, the more "FUN" it is for those kinds of people to hurt us. Please don't let it make you cynical. Oh, and I have a "I must be 1st" kiddo too. : )
Good luck. I am too far away to offer much help and all my kids are younger, so I don't even have anything to pass on via the mail, but I'll say a prayer for you.
This link will take you to how to get toys through Toys for Tots...but you have to show some proof of being on assistance. It is not too late.

Please call the police about this.
Also-what kind of toys would you be looking for?
You need to file a police report ASAP..
They then may be able to give you suggestions about different organizations that help families.. Here is Austin all of the Police, Sheriff and Marshall dept.. are in charge of Blue Santa and give away toys.. but these families are suggested by public assistance groups..
Oh my... I'm not in that area so I won't be any help, but my prayers are with you. As for those awful people.... Karma is a powerful thing.
Wishing you all the best.
report this to the police. have the police investigate and hopefully resolve it.
check out freecycle..one year i was fornuate to find a fisher price doll house with all the furniture and a remote controlled robot from freecyle.
try your local st. vincent de paul society (catholic group ) also saw this site the other day people are posting and getting responses www.2hands.org
Freecycle.org is a good place to start. Toy for tots too.. Contact your local CHP and see what they need to get you in. UGGHHH people make me so mad! i wish you were closer!
im sorry i cant help you bec i dont live in your area but i hope everything works out for you and your son this christmas also its hard to find good friends these days but thank god your son is your friend as well and no matter what happens this christmas he wont love you any less
Check with Toys for Tots.
