A serious incident of looting has struck a family from the hamlet of Sa Segada, already shaken by the loss of a loved one.
In early July, while the family was attending their mother's funeral, unknown assailants broke into their home, breaking into a safe, and stealing several rifles of modest value and a small sum of money. A cowardly and offensive act, it violated the family's intimacy and dealt a further blow to their grief.
According to investigators, the action, which occurred in broad daylight, may have been carried out by someone who knew the area well.
Outrage and solidarity were expressed by the entire community and by city councilor Alberto Bamonti (We Reform Alghero), who called the incident "a despicable act, which wounds the entire community."
