The Cobar woman moved to Wellington to flee from a family crisis.

Now she is desperate to leave.

"I felt violated," she said at the Wellington address. "I was scared to be here. I immediately went to my mum ... and I didn't want to come back.''

"Driving back into Wellington I had a panic attack and as soon as I saw the sign on the way in I was sweating, crying and shaking," she said.

Ms Brown and her housemate Kala Ohlsen had been 350km away in Cobar when they received a phone call from a concerned resident letting them know their front door had been kicked wide open.

She now believes a group of people of varying ages might be responsible for ransacking the house they had been renting.

Valuables worth hundreds of dollars were stolen as well as irreplaceable sentimental items tied to Ms Brown's memories of her children.

The thieves also stole medication and, oddly enough, shampoo, toilet paper, chicken stock and a tin of Milo.

"We have lived in Cobar for five years and not had a problem," she said. "People in Cobar kept saying to us: you don't want to be in this town [Wellington].

"Don't move there. It's a terrible place to live. Now we're leaving as soon as we can."

It is understood it could have all happened any time between Thursday and Saturday afternoon.

"Apparently they cut the electricity off," Ms Brown said.

The alarm would have been screeching, but nobody saw anything."

Ms Brown is now issuing an appeal to try to get her possessions back and has one message for the thieves regarding her photos and sentimental items.

"Give them back, drop them in on the doorstep, there will be no questions asked," she said.
