Today's journalism is so awful, reports like these raise far more questions than they inform. How did the burglar open the garage door? Was it locked? The sound of the garage door opening woke them? Does the wife keep her purse in the laundry room? If not then perhaps the burglar was searching for it throughout the house. Who knows? Also, links to their own articles list several arrests for various crimes from this individual over a number of years, do they report any follow ups? Not that I see.
