A pastor says someone broke into his Lexington home while he was out of town and stole presents from right underneath the tree. Now, the family is hoping for a Christmas miracle; to recover some of the estimated thousands of dollars worth of valuables that are now gone.
It was the message no one wants to receive. Pastor Cristobal Napoleon says he was out of town last week for a family emergency when his house was broken into and ransacked.

“They pushed the garage and you know, opened up,” said Pastor Napoleon.
The garage is located in the back of the house, facing Hummons Lane. Once inside the garage, Napoleon says those responsible used his own tools to break in the interior door.
“This area is, you know, is not very safe,” said the pastor.
Pastor Napoleon says many things were taken including a tv, several Christmas gifts under the tree, and personal also identification papers.
Napoleon says the thieves took the church’s tithe money as well as tools he used as a mechanic in his secondary job.
“They take all my tools, two air compressors, one heater, a blow heater,” he said.
Napoleon estimates a loss of nearly $10,000.
