Woodburn Hill is off of Thompson Corner Rd., its mostly Amish homes back there except for the little apt. house on the left just off Thompson Corner. I hope they aren't targeting the Amish thinking they have valuables in their homes. I have a feeling it was probably a Amish family.

mmmm, the amish homes (to me anyways) wouldn't make a good target to an outsider, even the locals know the Amish lead simple lives.

Specifically says they were stealing property which is why I'd say it's very probable they weren't Amish.

The press release states that they broke in at 1:00am and ordered everyone to the ground.
Leads me to believe that people were hanging out in the living room at 1 in the morning when 2 dudes busted in. IF so, I doubt they'd be amish.

their are other non amish on that road,but they are just hippy types and don't keep much

They also tend to be skeptical towards the banking system and handle many business transactions in cash.
How do you handle credit transactions without phones and/or computers?
To my knowledge, the only time the amish take out credit is to purchase farmland. They may borrow building materials from the community, but you wont see them signing for a note on a shiny new car or a bigscreen TV. Some of the amish merchants accept credit cards, but that doesn't require THEM to incur debts. They do a lot more cash business than other enterprises of similar size, it is not unusual for an amish farmer to pay for a seasons worth of seed-corn with a bundle of cash. Just because they live a modest lifestyle doesn't mean that they dont have significant sums of cash stashed somewhere on their property.
