(Aug. 26) -- It wasn't hard for Tammy Brown to identify a likely suspect in the burglary of her home.
One of her neighbors, Kathleen Lawson, 36, allegedly walked right up to Brown while wearing Brown's own clothes.
Brown was planning to move from her home, so much of her belongings were packed. She left her home briefly Monday and returned to find it had been burglarized, reported CBS13 in Sacramento, Calif.
"I was shocked," Brown told the local CBS affiliate. "She walked right up the gate and said, 'What are you going to do with the dryer?' I said, 'How do you know there is a dryer? You've gone in my house … you are wearing my clothes.'"
Brown said Lawson told her she had "good taste in clothes."
Lawson faces burglary and drug charges, and two other suspects were also arrested in connection with the case.

Chris Rock once defined a n####r as someone who'll steal your TV, then come up to you later and say; "hey, I heard you go broke into."

Years ago, my ftaher's van was broken into and the thief tried to sell the stereo from it to a neighbor in the apartment right next to ours. Not only that, but when he lay down on the bed in the back of the van to kick the back doors open, he dropped his wallet. Further, he stole a tray of knick-knacks that were on the console and then proceeded to spill them so the led like a Hansel & Gretal trail to his apartment door. There, the cops found items removed from the van, including a gallon jug of white paint that was stashed in the refrigerator.

If this happened in Texas the thief might have been shot. Come into my house un-invited and see what happens, you won't leave.

I had a break in 2 years ago, totally ransacked. What a mess! Some very important momento's from my son and dad were taken, along w/ a diamond necklace from my deceased mom. Now this is the kicker, things have started to RETURN. Yup. No, I'm not crazy and no, i don't think anyone came back 'in' the house, but this is very strange and TRUE. and that's the truth (as lilly tomplin used to say, lol)

This same thing happened to a friend of mine several years ago! The neighbors cleaned her out while she was out of town. Next thing you know she sees her clothes on the clothesline in the backyard they shared (a duplex). The sheriff was called and lo and behold it was the sheriff's cousin who was the suspect! She did get her things back but all of her clothes had been altered! The real kicker was that one of the children of the suspects was a student in her class!!
