A man reported his laptop computer was stolen from his bedroom Tuesday while he was taking a shower in his Glen Avenue apartment, Ann Arbor police said.
The 22-year-old man told officers the screen to his fire escape window was cut at about 4:20 p.m., police said.
Prior to taking a shower, the man was on the fire escape smoking a cigarette, police said.
He climbed through the window to get inside and put the screen down, but forgot to lock the window, police spokeswoman Lt. Renee Bush said.
Police say the computer was valued at $600.
Anyone with information can call the department's tip line at (734) 794-6939.

I wonder if this guy has any connection to the other string of robberies in the area. That would be nice. There have been so many robberies lately in both Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti - and the robbers have been really bold and relentless!!

???? A fool is one who believe that the police can be everywhere at anytime to stop criminals or catch them in the act. Regardless of couch/porch inspections or not only YOU can do that. 1*

Pathetic thieves will take anything. Why allow that to happen if it's in your power?
