Police are investigating a bizarre burglary at a Leschi home last month after a woman reported that a number of items had disappeared from her home over several weeks.
On January 28th, police were called to a home in the 3800 block of E Superior Street to take a report. The homeowner told officers the house had been vacant while it was under construction, but when she’d been in the house over the last few weeks she had found that some of her things had gone missing or had been rearranged in the home.
The woman told officers that on January 17th she noticed her samurai sword had gone missing. She assumed that it had been moved by construction crews and didn’t think anything of it. The woman also found that two “adult toys” had been removed from a dresser and placed on several beds in the home.
On the 28th, when the woman returned to the home, she found that someone had climbed through a window and stolen her camera equipment, two backpacks, a bass guitar, a television, an antique dagger, a bicycle, and a DVD player.
The woman told officers “there have been numerous people in an out of her house in the past months and many people have had access to her belongings.” Police were unable to find any usable fingerprints at the scene.
