The criminals have yet to be caught and police are calling for anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers or the Dubbo Police station.
Anyone in the know should do so. It might mean "dobbing" on a mate but the perpetrators have not shown the slightest bit of human compassion for the family and deserve no loyalty or compassion.
The perpetrators - many would call them garbage - should not be roaming free in the community.
Three times in the past two weeks criminals have stolen goods or vandalised the house where the offspring of Ms Ramirez, killed in a car crash in March, are trying to rebuild their family home and with it their lives.
At the time of her death, the four youngest children of Ms Ramirez were scattered around Dubbo as she tried to fix an issue that had left the house unliveable.
A social media campaign after her death and community generosity raised funds to fix the house.
The crimes have delayed the project. Older family members helping with the rebuild are considering braving the winter freeze and camping at the house to protect it.
Many will wonder how anyone could add to the pain devastating the family.
Time for someone to reach for the telephone to help put the perpetrators behind bars.
