Thief in the night, Part 2

On October the twentieth, a man came into our house and stole some money and jewelry. The past couple of weeks have been a roller coaster on the emotions of fear and thankfulness. I have been talking to several neighbors and friends, as well as the police, about the robbery. It is interesting to see some extend a hand or give advice to help. Some have come with accusations of this one or that one.
Last Thursday night before church, a friend called me to say that a man had been apprehended in a nearby village while robbing a house. I drove to the police station to get more information. The officer I talked with said that a home owner caught him climbing out of a window. They used a stick to beat him and called to the neighbors for help. When the neighbors arrived, they helped to beat him as well. According to the officer that I spoke with, an off-duty officer saw what was happening and stopped the brawl before they beat him to death. He also said that the homeowner saw a second man, but they did not catch him. The police are investigating the possibility that this could be the same man that robbed us.
