Leila and Danny Abdallah s home in Telopea, in Sydney s north-west, was targeted by a thief on Wednesday, a year after their children Sienna , eight, Angelina, 12, and Antony, 13, died.
“He took a watch, but it’s not about the watch. This watch reminds me of me and Angelina walking to the store to buy this watch. So it’s a bit sentimental for us, and invading our privacy,” she said.

The man may have been inside for 10 minutes ransacking the bedrooms.
