HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Surveillance video shows a man investigators have called a serial burglar squeezing into a Montrose home through a tiny doggy door.
And to make matters worse, the homeowner said she just found out she will likely never get her stolen items back.
ABC13 first told you about this man two weeks ago.

The Precinct 1 Constable says deputies know who he is, just not where he is.
According to authorities, Bobby John Henry, 56, has now been officially charged with four burglaries in Montrose, and he’s suspected in several more.
But Houston police records show that last year, police cleared just 6% of the more than 11,000 burglaries reported in our city.
Surveillance video shows the man squeezing through a doggy door, seemingly not concerned about getting caught.
This tiny door is locked, but somehow, he still gets in.
“I’m scared to be in my house, I’m scared to leave my house, and that’s a hard way to live,” Claudia said, whose last name ABC13 is concealing because she worries about getting burglarized again.
Claudia can barely stand to think about the burglar inside her home for fifty minutes.
She said her alarm was blaring as he took her family’s jewelry, shoes, watches, cologne, and heirloom silverware.
“I did everything I was supposed to do. My house was locked up. I had cameras. I had an alarm. I had a doggy door locked,” she said. “This man is so bold. He will do whatever he has to do, and he doesn’t care.”
Precinct 1 investigators confirm they believe the man shimmying in through Claudia’s doggy door is the same man seen in multiple videos from different Montrose burglaries.
In the video, you can see him jumping in through a window and wedging himself through another small doggy door.
On March 6th, Constable Alan Rosen identified the suspect as Henry with a criminal history going back to 1990.
But, for Claudia, who says she was burglarized on Jan. 12th, the identification came too late.
“The detective gives us a text saying, ‘We found your stuff at the pawn shop. Unfortunately, it’s all gone because it had been a month and a half,” she explained.

State law requires precious metal dealers to hold items for 11 days before selling them.
Dealers have to take fingerprints and photographs of anyone who comes in and provide them to police if asked.
Claudia said police gave her photos of her belongings at a gold dealer’s shop before they were sold.
She knows she’ll likely never get back anything, but she’s still praying for an arrest.
She’s put up flyers, hoping her neighbors will be able to do what investigators haven’t done yet: find the burglar.
“I have dreams about him coming in,” she said. “And what am I going to do? Or if I walk in and he’s in my house, what am I going to do?”
