"I see a total mess -- this house is a disaster area. Some pigs got in here," 63-year-old Theresa Van Dyke says of her house.  CLICK FOR VIDEO

     While Van Dyke was picking up her daughter from out-of-town, the house -- located in the 400 block of East 11th Street -- had been broken into and completely ransacked.

     "We've lived here for three years and liked the neighborhood," she says through tears.

     The burglars broke her back door and rummaged through the entire house from top to bottom, dumping drawers and pulling down shelves in search of valuables.

     "[The burglars wanted] drugs and money -- things to sell real cheap to buy drugs. They took my laptop and portable DVD player that I got enjoyment out of," she says.

     The thieves also got their hands on Van Dyke's prescription Vicodin.

     "[They stole] my pain medicine that I need real bad right now. I can't get them because they're a restricted drug. I can't get them because I just had the prescription filled," she says. 

     Every room in the house was so full of clutter, it was hard to see the floor and walk.

     Theresa believes it was a bunch of kids who ransacked the house. Her daughter, Patricia Klingensmith, has her own idea.

     "An animal -- a bunch of animals. This is kind of a cruel thing to do to a 63-year-old woman," she says.

     "I'd like to tell these kids that got in here and did this damage to my house: 'Thanks a lot. I'm a 63-year-old woman who's handicapped I can't even clean it up myself," Klingensmith says.
