Victim still missing sentimental items after toy theft bust
A burglar was arrested in Coweta County on charges of stealing guns and collectible toys. The victim says she is still missing important sentimental belongings and is asking the public for help.
COWETA COUNTY, Ga. - "I am trying to make Christmas magical for my kids, and it’s really difficult," Stacey Lewis, the victim of a recent burglary, told FOX 5.
It has been a trying time for Stacey Lewis. That is thanks, in part, to Kathryn Lynn Humphrey. Investigators believe she is the burglar who broke into Stacey’s Coweta County house three times, stealing thousands of dollars in collectible toys as well as guns.
Some of it has been recovered by Coweta County investigators during a raid on Humphrey’s house.

However, the most painful part of this story involves Frankie Clements. She was Stacey Lewis’ mother who recently passed away.
Some of the items Humphrey was accused of stealing were Christmas ornaments. Many of them were handmade. Stacey was going to decorate her home with them, both in memory of her mother and in healing for own family.
"I just want it back," Lewis said. "I am not trying to get anybody else in trouble if she dropped it off at somebody’s house and they are holding it. I just want my stuff back."
Humphrey was busted when she tried to sell the collectible toys on eBay. What she might have done with items that were worth something only to Stacey’s family is a mystery.

"My daughter looked at me and said ‘Mommy when we put the ornaments on the tree?’," Lewis said. "I don’t have any ornaments because they are gone."
