Steve Fluegge was shocked when he walked downstairs in his North Hill home about 6 a.m. Friday and came face to face with a burglar in his living room.

But he was even more shocked when, less than three hours later, the burglar returned and swiped a television he left in the backyard — while a police investigator was still on the scene.

“While they were inside processing the scene, the thieves came back and took it,” Fluegge said.

“They were all very embarrassed,” said Fluegge, 57.

Fluegge said he discovered the burglar inside his home in the 1400 block of North Spring Street shortly after waking up Friday morning.

“I said, ‘What the hell are you doing in my house?’ ” Fluegge said.

The man ran from the house and fled across the backyard, disappearing into the early morning fog.

“We called the police and they were here within just a minute or so. There were policemen all over the place,” Fluegge said. Next >>
