He took his kids to the local school to get them registered, but when he returned home he found the door to their new home ajar;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Mukhtar Ahmad, who worked in Afghanistan as a translator and security guard for the U.S. Army, threw the door open and ran to where he was keeping his savings. All $5,000 was gone, along with a 55-inch TV they bought on Black Friday, a computer, hard drive and some of his wife\u2019s wedding jewelry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter 20 days in America\u2026 I lost my TV, computer \u2026 money,\u201d he said. When he opened the empty box where he had kept the money, he said he \u201csat down there for a while and was thinking \u2018What should I do? I lost everything; how do I continue with my life?\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>Now, he said, his children are scared to be away from their father and are having trouble sleeping. Thursday is the first day of school for Maryam, 8, Madena, 10, and Nazela, 13.<\/p>\n<p>He said the burglary has put their new life on hold. Ahmad was going to use the money to buy a car so he could get a job in welding or security. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Someone probably saw him carrying that 55-inch TV in the house and the rest was just gravy. Mukhtar says that he was waiting for his Social Security card so he could open a bank account to deposit the money. Too bad he isn&#8217;t an illegal immigrant, he could have opened a bank account at Bank of America which doesn&#8217;t require identification from Spanish-speaking folks without any legal ID.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someone sent us a link to story in Dallas about Mukhtar Ahmad, an Afghan translator and &hellip; <a title=\"Afghan family burglarized in Dallas\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=63069\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Afghan family burglarized in Dallas<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[185],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-crime"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=63069"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63069\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=63069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=63069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=63069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
