A group of thieves took advantage of last night's rainstorms to burglarize the offices of Alliance Against Aids. This morning Alliance staff found the back door of their Common Ground Headquarters kicked in and parts of the office ransacked. Executive Director Rodel Beltran Pererra says this has happened one time too many.

“They came in through our back door. I understand from the authorities that it looks like a kick in. They went with some of our visual and audio equipment. We know that there is a VCR missing. We still have not taken an inventory so far of what we feel is missing. We know that there are some boxes missing. We know that there is some bags missing and also some of our office files are and including some local and foreign currency that is missing from our stuff.”
“This is the fifth time and I think that the Alliance Against Aids is really making a plea out there to people that we are not an agency that has lots of bucks and lots of money and I think that we are an agency that is trying to help people and I think that the plea is to just be left alone.”
A report has been filed with the police but no arrests have been made.
