The home of my next door neighbor, 6583 Cottingham Place, was totally ransacked some time Saturday evening, June 21st. The individuals broke through the back sliding glass door and lit her candles and used her flashlights to go through the entire house. They took tv's, computer, printer, checks, credit cards, jewelry, etc. She says her bedroom was so ransacked that she could hardly get through her bedroom door. They had moved additional tv's, etc. and placed them on chairs in one room, taped them up and seemed to have them staged to be removed as well. The yard man discovered the broken glass on Sunday and realized that the home had been broken into.
It is unknown whether the remaining items were packed for a future visit to this home, or whether the thieves were somehow spooked.
The neighbor travels extensively and is rarely home. She stated that the thieves even brought boxes with them, as they left some of them behind. The front door was not used, so it was determined that they must have pulled a vehicle into her back yard and loaded things out of the back door.
We have to assume that whoever broke into her home had information relative to the fact that she is rarely there, or they have been watching it enough to determine the same. I am shocked, and dissappointed that although the side of my house is right next to her driveway, I neither saw or heard anything.
Please keep an eye out for your neighbors. We have now exchanged phone numbers and have been made aware of what vehicles are allowed to be at her home.
