There, their and they're are homophones and are often confused by less careful writers.

@contrex,
Even before I went to school my mother taught me that "there" had "here" in it and to think of "here and there". She showed me the word "their" had the word "heir" in it, and if you're an heir, something belongs to you.

She did the same for hear and here, saying "hear" had the word "ear" in it.

@oristarA,
Hi OristarA,
You should use "there" at the place of "their".

@proofreadmyfile,
This is also a thread that has been inactive for more than a year. Likewise, this has been appropriately answered already. in the future, you might want to read the responses first and look at the datestamp before replying to avoid duplication.
