Just got this email about the break-in. This is definitely the house on Allaire. I removed personal information so that the homeowner's name and house number are not available.

"Thought everyone should know, our house was robbed while we at the grocery store. Only gone about an hour. Took cash and jewelry but search all drawers and closets. Even took tools from garage and broke open a small safe with just important documents inside.

Got in by prying open slider on back of house. Police came and got a lot of finger prints off door and safe. Hope they catch the sob.

We're ok but feel violated.

Tell all neighbors to be on the lookout for strangers in the area."

Sounds like they may have been targeting this house (maybe a worker who had been inside and knew there were valuables?) and watching to see when the homeowners were going out. Imagine if they'd come in while the bad guy was there. I'm so glad they're safe.
