Burglar fixes door before he leaves

Staff Reports

MOULTRIE — A Moultrie woman reported her apartment was burglarized while she was away over the weekend. The thief, however, was kind enough do some repair work before he left.

Jodie Jones, of First Street Southeast, reported someone forced open the front door to her apartment between noon Saturday and 12:30 p.m. Monday. She found the latches on the front door, however, had been fixed as the robber or robbers left out the back door.

Missing were a Hewlett-Packard computer, a Sanyo 25-inch television, a DVD player, a Sony PlayStation 2, a Lexmark printer and an armoire with jewelry inside, Jones said. The value of the stolen items was $3,430.
