Homeless Twin Sisters Inherit Property from Grandmother They Never Knew — Story of the Day

While traveling through Boston, they suddenly encountered a neighbor with a large, beautiful mansion.

“Look at that house, Maddy. I bet we could grab just one box of jewelry and be set for the rest of the year,” Jessica pointed out, stopping the car only a few paces away.

“I don’t know, Jess. Those wrought-iron fences are heavy-duty. It’ll be tough to climb. Plus, these places probably have alarm systems and stuff, right?” Madison shook her head but stared at the state with wonder.

“Well, I’m going,” Jessica insisted, removing her seat belt and climbing out of the driving seat. Madison followed, trying to talk her out of it.

As predicted, the fence was hard to climb, but there was no alarm, at least. Jessica was an expert in picking locks, but she knew rich folks always left their doors open. “Bingo,” she whispered, rolling a side door open.

The twins entered a dressing room and ransacked as quickly as possible, finding jewelry and designer bags galore.

When they were ready to leave, Madison lifted her heavy bag and accidentally knocked a vase.

“Oops!” she whispered, looking at her sister with panicked eyes.

“We have to go,” Jessica said calmly. “Let’s pray she didn’t hear this.”

“Who’s there?” they suddenly heard as lights turned on. An old woman in her nightgown stood in the doorway. “Who are you?”

The twins stared at each other, wondering what to do next.

“Oh, no. Please don’t take that,” the lady continued, her eyes on the box Jessica had in her hands because it didn’t fit in her bag. Her eyes teared up quickly. “Take anything else but that, and I won’t call the police.”
