There wasn't any obvious damage to windows or doors, and the front door was left slightly ajar. The burglary occurred during the day.
The officer dusted the door's handle for prints, but the knob appeared "very clean as if someone wiped it off."
A computer, monitor, DVD player and flat screen TV were stolen.
Car prowl
