Hello,

As some of you may have heard we experienced a break-in at our home this past Saturday evening.  Therefore, we thought we would share a few of the details with you.  The event occurred while we were out of the house but we believe they may have still been in the house at the time we arrived back home at approximately 9:15pm. 

Items Taken: Jewelry and watches.

Property Damage: Screen, Glass/French door, Flooring and Furniture

The Sheriffs Department did take finger prints and we are hopeful that they are prints of the thief and there are also other details as well that we hope will produce further leads.  The officers also discovered that the thief first attempted to go into the home next to us (I believe house number 136) which is vacant.  The screened pool enclosure was cut there as well but no entry into the neighboring house took place. 

One additional detail that everyone may want to be aware of is the method used to enter our home.  We had several patio stones outside our screen porch and the thief used one of these to break through the glass in the door.  We mention this only because you may wish to take a look around your property for any objects that might be used as tools to gain access to your home.

In closing, if anyone noticed anything (automobile, person, activity, etc.) unusual this past Saturday, if you would kindly let us know it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

I'm from the new york area and in the wake of the crowleygate chapter I nearly made a similar mistake! I noticed suspicious activity involving an african-american gentleman, he was rummaging around on an apartment deck. I immediately thought: "burglary in progress" but after watching a bit longer, I realized that he lived there! Oops! LOL
