I just had two children stolen and i'm not sure if i am supposed to somehow find them. i have all of the puzzles complete and banged the gong once. is that why it happened?

Are you sure they didn't grow up a second before you banged the gong?

no, they were only a few years old. i banged the gong and closed the game for a while. when i opened it back up a green screen came on that said two children have been stolen and were being kept in a safe place. i didn't think to get a screenshot of what it said exactly, but my population went down by two also, so they are definitely gone.

I suspect you'll have to wait for VV3 to find where they went.. lol

put their picture on milk cartons?

Are you sure it was a green screen? Not an orange one?

thought was green screen, but could be mistaken. what does orange screen mean?

An orange screen is an event.

2 of mine were stolen... and then returned a few days later

They returned through another event, or just turned back up without fanfare?
