William Libby was devastated at the sight of his home Friday afternoon. The side of his house was burned by fire. "We lost everything," he said. "We have but the clothes on our back." To make matters worse, he said his prized possessions were stolen before someone set the home ablaze. He collected comic books, video games and systems. Libby said he found a bag among the rubble and gave it to police. "It had my property in it; my laptop, a bunch of stolen CDs and what not, that they were packing in the bag to leave the scene," he said. Now, where a super reader once called home is boarded up. The comforts of being a child are lost and replaced with necessities inside a hotel room. "I just purchased some bins to keep the kids and our stuff organized," Libby said.
