It happened at Sandy Le’s home in Westminster around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 9. The man in a hat was seen very clearly, meticulously going through the rooms of the house, stealing what he could. In some of the video, the man is seen going through Le’s father’s bedroom, stepping on the bed and going through the man’s belongings.
All told, the man stole thousands of dollars in cash, jewelry and other sentimental items. Le said she believes that the thief was strategic in what he took.
“He told us that even though the footage in the pictures and whatnot was really good, they asked me, ‘Do you know this person?’ I said, ‘No.’ And they said, ‘If you don’t know this person, it’s very unlikely that we would be able to identify or catch him,'” Le said.
