Two women called the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Wednesday to report separate burglaries. The first woman arrived home in the afternoon to find $3,680 worth of jewelry missing, and the second was lying in her bed at night when she saw a man enter her house.
The Sheriff’s Office got the first call at around 12:50 p.m.
An E-section resident told deputies she left the house at about 10:15 a.m. and returned at about 12:50 p.m. to find that the back sliding glass door had been pried open, according to a Flagler Sheriff’s Office case report.
She and another woman realized jewelry was gone. They called the Sheriff’s Office.
A deputy noticed pry marks and a damaged lock on the sliding door and took photos of the damage.
The woman said the stolen jewelry included an Omega wrist watch, a Timex bracelet watch, a pair of sterling silver earrings, a gold wire necklace with a pendant, a pair of blue earrings, black wire and beads, a red dangle with sterling silver, a gold round disk with a brown top bead, 25 costume jewelry rings with imitation diamonds and a sterling silver watch with a black face.
Photos of the damaged door and descriptions of the missing jewelry will be uploaded to a crime information database.
The second call came in at night, after an 85-year old woman lying in bed in her home on State Road 100 noticed a man in her hallway.
She got up and looked down the hallway, and the man was looking into her jewelry box in the top drawer of her dresser.
She asked him what he was doing.
He looked up, bolted down the hallway past her and ran out of the house, saying as he left that he’d walked into the wrong home.
The woman called law enforcement and gave deputies a written statement.
She said she was sure all the doors to the home were locked and that nothing was missing — but a weed whacker had been moved, she added, and an envelope had been removed from a drawer and set on top of the jewelry box.
Deputies wrote in an incident report that it appeared someone had forced their way into the house through the garage.
