My 8 year old daughter's 3DS was stolen on Monday April 18th. It was taken from Lakenheath Elementary School. If your child has information that leads to the return of my daughter's Nintendo 3DS ( in good working condition) there is a $100 reward. If you have a child that attends LES or that rides the Beck Row bus, ask them if they know of the theft or if someone found it and kept it. It could mean $100 for their help. Call Dawn, or Hank at 07903763990. 

That sucks if someone stole it, but an 8 year old could very well have lost it and just told you someone stole it. I don't understand why such small kids are allowed to take these expensive items to school in the first place. Seems to be asking for trouble to me. 

My daughter has taken her Older DS to school all year because she plays it on the bus. She has Never misplaced it. She saved up for a new 3DS for a year. It came up missing the first day she took it to school. Even if she lost it at school, someone most likely picked it up and took it.

We will do our best to recover it. We do realize in hind site that she should have left the 3DS at home. 

I don't have any information, just wanted to say that I really hope you find it. That is really crappy if someone has it, and hasn't handed it in! 

I don't condone stealing, but thats what you get for letting a kid take a super expensive toy to school. I hope you at least wrote her name in permanent sharpie. Good luck. 

We will do our best to recover it. We do realize in hind site that she should have left the 3DS at home.

Yow, good luck to you. My brother lost 3 gameboys (WAYYY back in the day) by taking them to school. Thank goodness my mom finally learned to spank his butt after that lol 

I hope you get it back! Kids stealing this early....yikes! 

When our middle child had his 6th birthday, all of the relatives sent him cash. He ended up netting a little over $90.00. He did as a six year-old would do and smuggled it in to school without our knowledge and gave a lot of it to his best friends. We found out after the fact. I just couldn't believe that a parent wouldn't question their child when he came home with big wads of cash.
How can you not notice that your 6 year old has become independently wealthy?

I'm sorry Dawnmom, I'm sure you're as disheartened as your daughter is. 

Any luck? 

No, we are filing a police report and printing flyers for her to hand out. I am hopeful that the little thief bragged about it. 

If a little kid took it home, I wondered if they have told their parents or kept it hidden? Surely it will need charging.... So yeah, hopefully they did brag apart it & someone will speak up. And shame on the parents if they know their kid has it. 

We got her 3DS back today. A kid in her class stole it from her. My daughter passed out flyers yesterday. Got a note from the mom today. The DS is back home now. Needless to say my daughter will be reading a book on the bus from now on. 

great news, glad its all worked out. 

Thats awesome Dawn! And YAY to the parent who actually made their kid face their actions. Good news all around! 

We are satisfied with the outcome. My daughter is wishing there was a little more justice though. 

YaY!!! Now it's safe to say that I didn't hold out much hope for you getting it back, but this is a pleasant surprise! 

Justice? She got it back, what more does she want?

Just curious... 

I'm glad she got it back! That should be enough. Im sure the parent will deal with their child.

LOL!

You're killing me! 

I think she wanted to know the kid got punished.
The girl did take it from my daughters backpack. My kids are very good kids. I think it blew her mind that someone would steal something from her.
I told her that the girl obviously has emotional problems. I also told her that I am sure her mom took care of it. My daughter stayed home from school today with a fever. I think some distance from the situation has helped. 

Emotional Problems, really? Sounds like the "emotional problems" might go both ways! You shouldn't have allowed your child to take that to school in the first place, even if it was just to play on the bus. Are they even allowed to have electronic items at school? Kids are not perfect and there moral reasoning can be off, that is why kids are not tried as adults. This kid saw something she wanted and took it, wrong yes and I am sure she knew it was wrong and her parents knew it was wrong and they must punish and teach her how wrong it was. I am glad you think your children are so good that this blows her mind but really are you serious? 

Taking something you see and want is something a 3 year old does. She is 8 , so it is called stealing. Of coarse my child is surprised another kid would RIP HER OFF, She has been raised to respect other peoples property.
A child with those kind of self entitlement issues does have problems.

Yes the kids are allowed to bring their electronics on the bus. They have to put them away in their backpacks before they enter the school. My
daughter fallows the rules. It was the other child who broke them.

Yes my daughter is a good kid. Sorry that offends you.

Interesting, you joined the forum an hour ago. 

I kind of agree with MaKr1... kids, even at 8, don't always have the impulse control that an adult has. That's why they're kids and not tried as adults. To say that this child has emotional problems is horribly judgmental. You know nothing about this child so who are you to say he/she has emotional problems?? Has your child ever taken something that doesn't belong to her?? I'm guessing so, since most kids do. That's called stealing, so apparently your daughter has emotional problems too.

I sincerely believe that when expensive items go missing from schools, it's the parents fault. Adults are wise to the way the world works, and as an adult, naivety cannot be used as an excuse. I guarantee your sweet daughter pulled it out at school to brag about what she had. Why do we not leave our cars unlocked with GPS', iPods, etc. inside?? Because we know someone will steal them. Same situation applies here, and as an adult, you never should have let her take it to school in the first place.

BTW -- "my child is a good kid" has been uttered by every parent of every kid who's ever shot up a school. Just saying... 

I have already acknowledged that we should of had her keep it home.

What kind of people steal stuff out of your car? The kind that stole stuff from kids' backpacks.
I didn't say my daughter was perfect, I said she was good.
By the way, every person sitting in jail for theft started somewhere. Just saying. 

When I was about that age I stole something small from another kid in my class. I got caught, I got my @$$ beat and I never did it again. That was about 20 years ago, and I still remember that lesson very well.

That doesn't mean I had emotional problems, but it doesn't mean the other kid (or her parents) were wrong for bringing something to school.

Sometimes all it takes is to be sternly corrected one time to really get a point across.

And anyone who wants to say my parents were wrong for spanking me, save your breath. It worked. If fear of getting spanked was the only thing that kept my obnoxious butt in line, at least something did and no one had to put up with my crap. 

Oh hey, Dawnmom, just curious - Did you give the $100 reward to the mom of the kid who stole it? 

No, she didn't , had enough respect not to ask for it. She didn't say much when I talked to her except, "sorry for the inconvenience." that was the extent of the apology. 

I was kidding, but seriously, that's a pretty BS apology. 

AFC, back?
