Help Identify Thief The burglary took place in broad daylight on Wittman Court in the Katy subdivision of Oak Park Trails. The resident says she did not see the man until he was leaving her garage with the gas blower.

Too Close for Comfort

The resident told Katy Magazine, "I was sitting in my garage in a chair and he came around the corner and walked right into garage and looked at my weed eater on the wall, but I think he then heard or saw me and just grabbed the blower and ran off. I chased him screaming then realized I was in my night gown," says the resident.
