Former Wayland High School industrial arts teacher Tom Greig and his family had a summer vacation to Washington D.C. cut short by criminals.

Greig, who now is regional UNISERV Director for the Michigan Education Association, posted on Facebook Friday evening, “So I guess our vacation is over. While we were touring DC, the ‘Felony Lane Gang,’ as described by police, skillfully broke into our car despite the alarm and stole everything. All we have are the clothes on our backs. At least we had our money and IDs on us.”

Greig and his wife and two children were touring the nation’s capital only days after he poined with four Steeby Elementary teachers in issuing a grievance against the Wayland school district.
