All of the items were taken from one room in the house, and the estimated value of the jewelry was about $6,500 with one ring worth more than $3,000.

Another gun was taken from a house on MacArthur Drive. police received a call that a Hispanic man had broken into the back of the house.
When police arrived, they noticed the back door being broken. The resident told police that a 9mm pistol was missing from the desk in the kitchen. She said nothing else in the house had been stolen or tampered with. Police noticed a glass with money in it that was sitting where the gun had gone missing, and it had not been taken.
Police questioned several men in the area, but no arrests were made at the time.
Another burglary was reported by a woman who said she left her apartment on Meadowlake Drive at about 2:30 p.m. to go to the pharmacy. When she returned, she discovered that someone had kicked her front door open.

...those who won't work taking from those who do.
The items taken are those things that are easy to pawn. Surprising that the one didn't take the money. But, then again, no one ever accused criminals of being smart.
That second one
sounds a tad fishy to me .... How'd they know it was a Hispanic man? And why just the gun? Hmm, Watson, me thinks there's deception afoot here ...
well
There might just be a peice of missing information. It says "police received a call that a Hispanic man had broken into the back of the house." It doesn't say who called. Perhaps a neighbor saw the guy leaving or something and called the cops.
