(Court TV) — They swiped the valuables, then did the dishes.
Police in Richmond City, Va., are looking for burglars who tidied up after burglarizing a woman's apartment.
According to Police Captain Karl Leonard, the woman returned from vacation on March 31 and discovered that her stereo, computer and other electronic items were gone. She also noticed that her laundry and dishes had been washed and dried.
Leonard said the woman was out of town for six days and it was very likely that the suspects knew she would be gone for that length of time.
"They drank all her liquor, ate her food, listened to music from her CD collection, used her shower and slept in her bed," the police captain said. "They knew she wasn't coming back soon."
He speculated that the robbers occupied the apartment for five days at most and may have organized a party during that period. But the apartment's resident returned to a clean and tidy home.
Leonard said his department is uncertain about how many people were involved in the incident and have developed no leads. He also added that the woman was looking to move.
Anyone with information should contact the Chesterfield Police at (804) 748-0660.
