Robbers Steal Playstation 2 From Kids

Three Queens brothers were tied up when robbers entered their house on Wednesday. The robbers bound the boys and put pillowcases over the two youngest boys' heads; the 16 year old was blind-folded. The men then took Christmas gifts - a Playstation 2, cellphones, saxophone, and some designer purses- as well as some cash from the boys! What's more, a surveillance camera caught the men on tape entering the Howard Beach apartment building: They arrive empty handed but leave with bags.

Mother Jocasta Bonnet, who was working at her clothing store, said that she didn't recognize either of the men, but police are investigating whether the robbers were trying to "collect a debt."

I often don't recognize the mean either, but for a PS2?
