In his essay Junot Diaz talk about how his family got robbed and how he found the thieves.

Like most of the Dominicans, his mother too, helps and sends money to her family back in Dominican Republic. Trying to save money in any ways, including the money their dad gave them for their daily expenses. She usually would save up to two or three hundred dollars. Living in the area where robbery was known and done a lot, one day his family got robbed. Happened when they were on vacation, and when they got back they found the door unlocked. The thieves stole all the mom’s savings, also some of his games.

Talking to his friends about his family being robbed, somehow he found out which he calls it a mental clarity that his friends were the “ones” (thieves).  His plan was to get back the money and other stolen things. He ask them use the bathroom and leaves the window open, and he comes back later on, gets in the house through the window and finds all the money and everything else being stolen. He goes back home with the money and gives back to his mom, which he expected her mom to be excited and joyful about that but she wasn’t at all. All she cared about was the money!
