A 71-year-old Weed Street man reported to New Canaan police that thousands in jewelry and electronics had been stolen from his home in a 45-minute window on Friday.
According to Sgt. Carol Ogrinc, the man left his home at approximately 3 p.m. Friday, July 26, and returned about 45 minutes later to find his home had been entered and cleared out of valuables.
Ogrinc said the man found drawers open and emptied upstairs that had previously contained about $10,000 in jewelry, as well as a missing 40-inch Samsung HDTV worth approximately $800 and an $800 Nikon digital camera.
Police said there were no signs of forced entry as the man had apparently left his door unlocked.
