home invasion burglery on 800 block of angelus place

we found a burgler in our home last night (monday, july 30) about 10:00. we live in the 800 block of angelus place.
pretty bizarre!

my wife and I were tired and dozing in bed and we both heard odd noises which we thought were coming from outside. lo and behold i looked over at the stairway leading to our second floor bedroom and a guy with a flashlight was almost to the top of the stairs. i started yelling, "call 911" and "there's a burgler in the house!" christina and lots of neighbors called 911. i got dressed to give chase and saw the guy run into our backyard and jump the fence and run off toward grandview ave.

the police came (including a helicopter), we told our story, filled out forms, and now await the fingerprint people.
since we never really saw what the guy looked like, the police had little to put out for a description; but they had multiple cars in the area searching immediately.
we lost some cash.

it was a crime of opportunity..........one of our windows was not secure.
