In Texas, a pair of thieves broke into a home in San Antonio, but what they did not know is that they were being taped. Police now have the video of the two thieves and are hoping someone recognizes the culprits. In the video, it is apparent what the two men are wearing and what they look like.
Here’s how the burglary went down - The home security video shows two men walking along the street in front of the house they were to break-into. No one is home at the time and the thieves enter through a window.
"They came in through my daughter's window, and they exited through the same place," Michelle Alvarado told WOAI-TV. Once inside, the thieves headed straight for Michelle son's room.
"All of his shoes, I mean, in his closet. The rack is empty," explained Michelle. "Lots of jewelry, cologne - All of that fun stuff that my
son has. Two watches that are irreplaceable. My father passed away, and he gave them to him. So, those are gone also."
The thieves took about a half hour to ransack the room. "For someone to come and take that when he worked so hard. That's tough," Michelle said. The video then shows the thieves coming out of the home wearing some of the clothes they stole.
"I mean, it's material stuff. And the good thing is that we weren't home, and nobody was hurt," added Michelle. "And we'll just have to start over. That's the best you can do. Pray and hope that it doesn't happen again."
Michelle can do more than just pray she can beef up her home security even more. Though she had a surveillance system in place she did not have a home alarm system armed. That’s likely why the thieves were able to take their time
