2500 block of Montrose Avenue in Montrose, a resident reported that before she went into her home she placed her shoes on the front porch of the residence. She had more shoes stored inside a shoe storage cabinet on her porch. The next morning she found the shoe storage cabinet doors were open and a single shoe on the porch. She left her residence and when she returned she found that both shoes she had left on the porch were missing along with another missing pair of shoes from the cabinet. 

Security footage showed that about 5:55 a.m. on Jan. 4 a male with a bicycle and a female with a scooter walked on the sidewalk westbound on Montrose Avenue in front of the location. The footage showed a female standing in front of the driveway next to the male’s bicycle. The male was on the victim’s lawn, bent forward toward a table on the lawn. He then walked toward the front porch, which set off the house’s motion-activated security light. The video then ended; however, the victim believes those on the footage stole her shoes.

At the time he was wearing black pants, black shirt, black hooded zip-up jacket and walking a white “beach cruise” style bicycle.
