The one on Allaire Loop was confusing. It said the homeowners arrived to find a garage door open. Does that mean they accidentally left the garage door open when they left or was it a small side door? First thing I would be asking - after which door was open, would be to see if they had any workmen in the house recently who knew a small safe was there.

The first mentioned in the article was someone called the police because "some change" was missing from his car - that he was unsure if the car was locked or not. Some change was missing? Unless it was a large container of change on the seat, who would know they were missing change? I keep a small baggie of quarters in the side pocket for meters but that is out of view and I would not know it was gone until I reached for it - and there is not more than $2.50 in it. Sounds strange, doesn't it?

The one on Adrienne Way sounds like the door was pried open.

Three is what I was told by Sumter County Sheriffs office. . Really kind of close together. This was in the last 12 days. I am thinking they didn't mention another one for sure earlier in Sanibel. Which would make TWO kick ins and four burglaries all together. One mentioned was change from a car. One mentioned that nothing was stolen but the door kicked in. (???)One mentioned involved a safe, but the earlier kick in involved a safe too. (That is curious)


She assured me that they are really working on this problem. I hope they catch these low life critters soon.

I do NOT mean to challenge anything said earlier by any posters, just to restate for people off campus.
