Melissa Garcia has only lived in her house nine months. Her daughter recently had a baby and had been staying with her in preparation for the delivery and recovery. On Oct. 28, a strange man knocked on the door. Garcia did not know him, so she
The Victim: Melissa Garcia
The Crime: Burglary
Date: Tuesday, Oct. 29 were scoping out her home before burglarizing it.
“I think they were already watching my house,” she says.
The good news is that police later called and said they had a suspect based on fingerprints. While she may not get her stuff back, at least the suspect may be caught.
Time: Between 11:15 a.m. and 4:15 p.m.
Location: 3300 block of Falls did not answer the door. She also saw a man parked across the street waiting for the man at the door to return to the vehicle. It just seemed a bit strange.
The next day, Garcia took her daughter to the doctor for a checkup. When she returned, her house had been broken into. Police found a cooler next to a bathroom window, which the burglar had used to enter the home.
The burglar made off with jewelry, a laptop, a Sony PlayStation and a cell phone – several hundred dollars in stolen property. Police told Garcia that there had been quite a bit of crime in the area lately.

Sgt. Kay Hughbanks with the Dallas Police Southwest Patrol Division says a criminal may indeed knock on a resident’s door to determine that no one is home.
“I know there is the possible danger if one should answer the door, but it is rarer for someone to be attacked in this manner than it is that the suspect is trying to find a home that is vacant,” she says. “If citizens see a person in the neighborhood going door to door, call 911 and report suspicious activity, giving a physical description of the person and the vehicle as best as possible.”
Hughbanks says that if suspects see an officer in the area or get stopped by an investigating officer, they may know they are being watched — hopefully reducing the chances of them hitting that particular neighborhood.
