9 a.m. – 9 p.m. Oct. 8, 7200 Block of Second Ave. N.W.
A woman told police she arrived home to find a door and a window wide open. She said the window had been closed but unlocked when she left for work.
The suspect, who is apparently rather picky, took unknown jewelry from a jewelry box in the main bedroom. The suspect then went downstairs and laid out all of the victim's X-Box games without taking any. Finally, the discerning burglar went through the victim's DVD collection, selecting 40 of them.
In addition, the suspect took two old passports and two social security cards.
The victim told police she talked to her neighbors about the burglary, and an approximately 20-year-old man who recently begin renting nearby acted suspiciously.
The victim said he became nervous, turned off a light and closed the blinds when she told him police would be investigating the burglary.

At 11 p.m. one female roommate returned to the rental property. She was met in the street by an unknown man, who asked her if she needed an escort to the front door. She declined.
At 11:55 p.m., a second female roommate returned home, seeing no one outside the residence.
At 11:57 p.m., a third female roommate was sitting on the couch in the living room. A rock the size of a softball smashed through the window about four feet to her right, breaking the window and striking her in the head.
The roommate was left with a 1-inch laceration on her head. She declined to go to the hospital for stitches.
