Tidy Burglar Takes Items, but Then Cleans Up

RICHMOND, Va. - A woman's apartment was cleaned out, and cleaned up by a burglar, police said. According to police, the woman returned home Thursday after being away for a week and discovered her television, computer and other items missing. The burglar had also helped himself to food and booze. But this was not a thoughtless thief. Police said the rear sliding glass door, which the woman had left open, was closed and locked when she returned. In addition, "clothes and dishes had been washed and dried," according to the police report.

Police Capt. Karl Leonard said it's possible the burglar knew the woman was going to be gone for a while and may have decided to take up residence in the interim.

"They probably didn't want to stay in a dirty apartment,' said Leonard, calling the case "very, very unusual." "We've had burglaries in the past where people have fixed themselves a sandwich," he added. "But nobody's ever done the wash."

nice pic, Kiwi. Reason #1 to own 12 pistols, 16 assault rifles, an assortment of shotguns, and 15 cases of ammo.

If that burglar was to clean up at my house before he left he would never be seen again.
