KSBY<\/a>. Police Chief Jim Munro told the station officers were responding to a \u201cburglary in progress\u201d just before 2 p.m.<\/p>\nHomeowner Michael Highnote told KSBY that the woman took a shower, used his wife\u2019s makeup and hairbrush, went through drawers, took his flannel shirt, and took his truck keys.<\/p>\n
Highnote said he and his wife spoke to the woman through the cameras and told her to leave while police were on the way.<\/p>\n
The Homeowners Spoke Through The Cameras<\/p>\n
Highnote told KSBY the camera alert let the couple see what was happening and talk to the woman from outside the home.<\/p>\n
He said officers stayed on the phone with him while they were at the scene and praised how quickly police responded.<\/p>\n
The Doggy Door May Have Been The Entry Point<\/p>\n
Highnote said he believes the woman climbed in through the doggy door.<\/p>\n
That detail is worth checking around any home with pets. A doggy door, side entrance, garage door, window well, or small back entry can be easy to forget until someone uses it.<\/p>\n
Police Arrested The Woman On Suspicion Of Burglary<\/p>\n
Chief Munro said the woman was arrested on suspicion of residential burglary.<\/p>\n
Highnote said officers got the couple\u2019s things back to them. The case also shows why camera alerts work best when homeowners call police quickly instead of trying to handle a break-in alone.<\/p>\n
