Between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. Nov 13. 5200 block of Russell Ave N.W.

In the early hours of Saturday morning, a woman and her boyfriend heard their roommate stumbling in after a night at the bar, followed by the strumming of a guitar.
Half an hour later the woman got up to use the bathroom and found the apartment door standing wide open. Her laptop and accessories were missing and so was the guitar.
She woke up her boyfriend and together they attempted to wake up the now-sleeping intoxicated roommate. In his defense, the intoxicated roommate said he was “pretty sure” he had shut and locked the door before passing out.
Police found no obvious damage to the door or frame.
The boyfriend told the officer that the intoxicated roommate was likely involved in the theft because the previous night the boyfriend had called the police on said roommate after he had come home drunk with an unknown female and tried to pick a fight with the boyfriend.
The police did not attempt to question the roommate due to his intoxicated
state and suggested they would let the roommate “sleep it off" and talk to him in the
morning.
The couple stated that they just want their belongings back, not necessarily prosecute the roommate if he is involved.

A residential alarm drew the police to 15th Ave where an officer observed a bent piece of aluminum on the base of a roll-up door.
Officers moved a stack of tires in front of the door and entered. The search resulted to nothing but the alarm was deafening.
Neither the alarm company nor the dispatch were able to get ahold of the tenants.
At the time of the report it was unclear if anything had been stolen.
