UPDATE: DAYTON-- A Dayton mom is gone and burglars make their move, with kids home alone.
Kim Smith said she was only gone about 30 minutes when thieves broke in through a window.
Her daughters, 16 and 6 were home alone and sleeping upstairs and didn't hear the burglars.
"If they would've come downstairs, they could've got shot, or beaten, they could've got killed! Smith said.
The thieves got away with her tv, dvd player, and jewelry.
About 6 months ago, burglars broke another window and stole electronics out of her home. Right now she says she's looking for a safer place for her family.
DAYTON -- A house is burglarized Thursday night while children watch TV upstairs, unaware of the intrusion.
Dayton Police say two children were watching TV in their upstairs bedrooms about 11:30 p.m. when they heard their dog barking from downstairs. Their mother was not at home.
According to police, someone entered the home and chased the dog out of the house, likely using a broomstick, which was left behind.
After the dog was out of the way, they made off with a 28-inch Sony flat-screen television, 55-inch Vizio flat-screen television, a Blu-Ray player, a cell phone and gold watch.
When the mother returned home she found the dog waiting to get back inside and a tear in a the front window screen, where she believes the burglars entered the home.
