DECATUR, Ga. -- Thieves broke into a DeKalb County man’s condominium Monday, pointed at gun at him and his granddaughter, and stole numerous items, including the man’s dentures.Martin Harrell went to a condominium next door to investigate a noise and encountered a man who pointed a sawed-off shotgun at Harrell’s head.Harrell said four gunmen walked him back to his condominium where his granddaughter Zapora, 4, was playing upstairs.“My granddaughter came downstairs, and as she came in, they all pointed their guns at her, so she went like this (puts hands up on head),” Harrell said.
Harrell said he bargained for their lives, and offered to stay in the bathroom if the men would take what they wanted and leave.“We stayed in there for about 40 minutes,” Harrell said.The gunmen went back and forth through the condo, taking everything from computers to food, including Harrell’s dentures.Harrell is trying to replace everything that was stolen, while making sure Zapora is OK.But he’s grateful that the gunmen left behind what he said really matters.“This (items in the house) is all replaceable. The life of my granddaughter is not replaceable,” Harrell said.
