Ann Arbor police investigate 3 home invasions reported Monday
Thieves took jewelry, wallets and a laptop among other items in three break-ins reported in Ann Arbor Monday. Police believe at least two of the homes were entered through unlocked doors.
Ann Arbor police Lt. Renee Bush said Tuesday homes in the 1800 block of Shirley Lane, 2200 block of Runnymede Boulevard and the 1700 block of Weldon Boulevard in Ann Arbor were all reported broken into Monday.
The home in the 1800 block of Shirley Lane was broken into sometime between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday. Bush said the 28-year-old woman who lives at the home returned to find her apartment door kicked in.
The thief or thieves took an iPad, laptop computer and jewelry, Bush said.
Bush said someone entered the home in the 2200 block of Runnymede between 11 p.m. Sunday and 8 a.m. Monday, possibly through an unlocked door. Multiple wallets were taken from that residence.
Two purses and a wallet were stolen from the home in the 1700 block of Weldon Boulevard, Bush said. The break-in is believed to have occurred between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. Monday. Bush said an unlocked door might have been the point of entry.
At this point, there are no suspects in any of the cases.
Anyone with information on these incidents is encouraged to call the Ann Arbor police anonymous tip line at 734-794-6939 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-SPEAK UP (773-2587).

We were one of the victims. They caught the guy. Kids left the inner door unlocked after letting the dog out in the middle of the night. Our dog failed. Time to get a gun for protection.

I live in the area of two of these crimes, looks like it's time to activate the Glock Security System!

We live in the neighborhood as well. We have been keeping our doors locked and eyes open. Breaking into our house would be a big mistake as well seeing as we are both veterans and one of us is an ex federal officer.

Spring break! Wait until next Monday for the real break-in reporting.

Two of these invasions involved possible entry through unlocked doors. Why anyone would leave a door or window unlocked is beyond comprehension. Punks and thugs are constantly combing neighborhoods around the city looking for easy opportunities to break in. This is reality. Why give them any help by leaving doors and windows unlocked?
