EUGENE, United States – One night in August, Mr Chong Man Kim and his wife, Ms Byung Sook, arrived home after a long day working at their grocery store to find that their house in Eugene, Oregon, had been ransacked.
Nearly every drawer had been emptied. The pockets of many of their clothes had been turned inside out. A safe hidden deep upstairs had been pried open. Another safe had disappeared altogether.
