    "Burglars have broken into the home of French Resistance heroine Andree Peel, it has emerged.

    Mrs Peel, who died last week aged 105, helped save more than 100 Allied pilots and spent her final years in Long Ashton, near Bristol.

    A police spokesman said Mrs Peel's house in the village was broken into some time after she died at her care home.

    Her friend Martin Fisher said the burglary was "despicable".
    Known as Agent Rose, Mrs Peel helped dozens of British and US pilots escape from occupied Europe.

    She moved to the UK after after meeting her future husband John Peel."

    Despicable indeed; read more here:

    That's pretty low. The article says:

    He said copies of her autobiography, Miracles do Happen, were among the stolen items.
    They were later offered for sale at nearby public houses, he added.


    That should mean that they can figure out who did the break-in?
