So yall just gone rob her house…really?

Some bastard(s) have robbed Amy Winehouse’s home. The late singer’s father who is currently on vacation trying to come to terms with the death of his 27 year old daughter– is said to be “livid” and has vowed to find the ass-holes who did it.

Copies of her unreleased tracks, lyric books and letters have gone missing from her property in Camden, north London — which only 20 people, comprised of family, friends, security and police, have had access to — and her management have also been unable to account for one of her favourite guitars.
