Home Burglary, 2600 block of Catalina

In a period over the last week and a half, someone burglarized a home in the 2600 block of Catalina Drive.

It was discovered last Friday, upon the return of the resident. This apparently wasn't a "run of the mill" burglary. The criminals had time on their side and meticulously went through everything, rather than "ransacking" the house. Current information is that a computer, T.V., birth certificates, passports, and tax records were stolen.
It is important that if you leave for an extended period, you notify a trusted neighbor, and possibly supply a house key so that the neighbor can allow access to any emergency responder or to check your house if something seems out of the ordinary. A neighbor should also remove any fliers that are left on the door. You should have your mail held, and newspaper stopped during your absence. Put your lights in the house on timers, as well as the porch light and even a radio.
