Two Xbox 360 games and one Xbox 360 controller were stolen out of an unlocked Perry Hall home last week, a Baltimore County police incident summary shows.
A 52-year-old woman told police that her son's games and controller were stolen on March 7, sometime between 7 and 11 p.m. in the 5000 block of Clifford Road.
The culprit stole the games and controller—valued at $110 and $60, respectively—out of the victim's bedroom.
No further information is known at this time.

How old is the kid who left the door open? 20-25? Seems a little odd that a robber would only steal a Xbox and a controller when the whole house is open.

Yes, this definitely seems like someone knew exactly what they wanted and where it was.
Or - and I am not saying that this is true at all - maybe the son sold it for $$ and reported it stolen. That's my daytime TV twist for this story.

Jon - your twist would be far from unheard of. Sure enough, if it were discovered to be the case, it wouldn't be posted here after the fact.

Just two days later at 5 a.m. my car was broken into on Lawrence Hill Road which is in the same neighborhood as Clifford Lane. We know who did it but without actual proof the police can't do anything. They wouldn't even take fingerprints from the car.

Whether to take fingerprints depends on a host of factors, among them, the weather, the type of upholstery in the car as a lot of surfaces are not conducive to picking up prints, whether the suspect touched any areas that might leave a print such as a mirror. Also, if prints are taken from the outside of the car, that is usually not sufficient to convict someone of actually breaking into the car because the public has access to touch the exterior portions of the vehicle. Not knowing the particulars of your case, I don't know why prints were not taken. But you might now armed with this information.

By the way, for those who have questions, which there are always those with questions.... 1) YES, my car WAS locked, 2) YES my GPS was hidden, 3) NO the GPS was not hanging from the window nor does it leave a ring on the window.
I worked in Baltimore city for over 20 years and never once had anything taken from my car, this neighborhood is going downhill because of renter's in the area. No sense of pride of community in the young 20 something's who pay cheap rent!

It's true about renters. They cause a large majority of the problems. The few problems I've had over the years where I live have all been involving renters (with one exception)

The problems started when the local apartment complexes began taking section 8 funding during "Move to Opportunity". I used to go running at 3:30 am. I was harassed by a group of 5-7 men who were walking up and down Belair Road. I no longer run at that time.
Just my opinion

First if it is not yours, it's not yours. Period. No excuses. People who do not parent their offspring shouldn't have any. Period. Now let's try this...the parents are culpable for all crimes of the offspring if they live in under their roof. The landlord is culpable for the criminal that is living under their roofs. And moreover the criminal needs to be punished and publicly known to all. We know who you are and you are not welcome here. Have questionable people in your neighborhood? Keep your lights on. Take pictures of them. Make a huge public announcement of what is going on to your neighbors, neighborhood association and neighboring associations. The power of the people is to push this stench out of our neighborhoods.
