Teresa Aguilar thanks Saint Nicholas for the things in her jewelry shop are going well although she caught a couple of robbers lately.

One night, I was awakened by some noise in my living room. I quietly went to check what it was. To my horror, I saw it was a thief in my house. I implored Saint Nicholas of Bari for help, and then I got an idea to bark like an angry dog. It scared the thief and he escaped through the window. I thank for that.
