[Chat] Break-ins on 3000 block of Guilford

[dawnacobb at mindspring.com]

Emil: I am so sorry that this happened to you and Kathleen.  It is so creepy to know that someone was in your house while you were sleeping.  This happened to us two years ago this time of year when someone pried the screen off of our front window and came into the house; took cell phones, my husband's wallet and car keys. Just like you we were sleeping when it happened. I hope the police were able to get prints and that the folks who did this are caught. 

Thanks for letting the community know.  Dawna

>The thieves didn't break any glass or use much force to enter.  We

>Please be careful everyone.
