2400 block Foothill Boulevard in La Crescenta, as a resident drove into his driveway he received a text message from his neighbor asking if anyone was supposed to be on his property. The neighbor reported seeing the resident’s garage door open. When the resident drove further into his driveway he saw his plastic bins outside his garage, which was partially open. He got out of his vehicle and walked over to the neighbor to talk to her about his garage. While he was speaking to her, he noticed a male Hispanic hiding on the ground next to a stone wall in the area. He asked the man what he was doing but he was ignored him and the man walked away. The resident was able to take a photo of the man, who then told him he was looking through the plastic bins. The man/suspect then walked southbound on Sunset Avenue and out of view. 

While the resident was inventorying his garage he noticed a glass tequila bottle and a sawed-off toy shotgun that did not belong to him. At the time nothing was reported stolen at 4:30 p.m.
