A Seattle man living in the Capitol Hill district of the
city has reported two break-ins at his condo over two days. According to the
man, the break-ins occurred two days in a row, both
when he made quick trips to the grocery store.
On February 17th, he left his condo unlocked
while he went to the store. When he got home, he says a plate of cheese and
some frozen cookies were sitting on the kitchen counter, along with two glasses
in the corner of the living room. Water was spilled on the carpet next to his
bed.
But he didn’t report the break-in and went to the store
again the following day, February 18th—again without locking his
condo door. And when he returned, he found more spilled liquid on the carpet
around his bed. He smelled and tasted it, determining that it was water.
Still, he didn’t report what he believed to be two separate
break-ins until early on February 19th, when he called police to the
condo after being unable to locate a folder of tax documents. Of course, by
this point he had cleaned up the messes in his apartment, leaving police
officers unable to look for evidence of a break-in.
More likely than burglars, though, is that the man’s two
cats are the culprits of all the strange happenings. Their water bowl is near
his bed, and since he determined the wet spots were water, it’s certainly
possible that the cats were just having a bit of fun.
That doesn’t explain the missing tax documents, but it does
explain the rest of it. In the meantime, officers of the Seattle Police
Department gave the man a shortlist of recommendations: 1) Start locking his
condo and setting the alarm when he goes out; and 2) Call them if he found the
missing tax documents in the condo.
