The reporting person, a contractor working on the vacant property, told the officers that he left the property secured and locked on December 9th. When he returned this morning he discovered that someone had damaged the front door lock possibly trying to enter the property. No entry was made because the top dead bolt lock remained secured. A check of the residence revealed no further damage and nothing missing from inside. No additional evidence/witnesses could be located.

The victim told the officers that she had ordered several items online that were scheduled to be delivered on different dates via FedEx and UPS. On December 9th she came home to find a FedEx notice posted on her door stating that the items had been delivered but observed no package on her porch. FedEx confirmed that the package was left on her front porch by the delivery man. She filed a theft report with Fed Ex. She then contacted UPS regarding the separate delivery and they confirmed that the package was delivered to her front porch on December 6th.
