A real fixer-upper
8:49 a.m. — 100 Block of Beachway Drive. Residential burglary. A deputy met a man who said he purchased a home and was renovating it to sell later. The man said he is self-employed and has been working there with his employees to fix the place up.
After returning from a cruise to the Bahamas, he noticed that several of his tools had been stolen. He didn’t see any signs of forced entry, and all the doors and windows had been locked. The last time he and his employees were at the residence was on Friday, Aug. 9, so the burglary had to have happened sometime over the weekend.
The man was able to provide a serial number for a blue paint sprayer, but among the items missing are a faucet, post light, wall sconce, demo hammer, nail gun, staple gun, sander, brass door knobs, drill, deadbolts, circular saw and hand clamps. The deputy did not see any signs of forced entry or any physical evidence; it had all been stolen.
