A burglar recently went through a homeowner’s belongings and even stopped to take a bathroom break, all while a resident is asleep in the house.“I got a call from my boyfriend saying that I needed to call the police (and) check the cameras because someone just broke into the house,” south Jackson resident Sherry Naylor said.Surveillance cameras captured video Tuesday morning of a man walking through the unlocked door of Naylor’s home. Naylor was outside with her two daughters taking pictures for their first day of school. She thinks someone was watching them the whole time.“It seemed like as soon as we got in the car and left, he came into the home,” Naylor said.The video shows the man looking round the house, but before he took anything, he stopped to take a 5-minute bathroom break.“He did use my restroom. He didn’t flush because he knew it was going to make a sound,” Naylor said. “(He went) No. 2. I did not want to go in that restroom. I didn’t even want to touch the tissue. I’m like, 'Wow.'”Once the burglar came out of the bathroom, he piled up the items he wanted.“My daughter had a MacBook under the table. He started to get that. I had groceries on the couch. He started peeking through the groceries (and) collecting things out of the bags,” Naylor said.Then the man went into the bedroom, where Naylor’s boyfriend was sleeping. He said he sleeps like a rock and didn’t hear a thing.Naylor said the burglar cut the internet connection so the surveillance cameras stopped rolling.“He was going through the dressers in my room,” Naylor said. “He got the TV (and) wrapped it up in my daughter’s comforter.”Naylor’s boyfriend did eventually wake up and noticed that the TV was missing. That’s when he came face-to-face with the intruder, who ran out the door and down the street.“He took my daughter’s jewelry, Polo shirts, the Wii games, PlayStation games,” Naylor said.Naylor is thankful that the burglar wasn’t armed, which she said could have made the situation much worse.22758298
