Brazen Suburban Burglary Caught on Video

A suburban woman says a brazen burglar broke into her home and made off with everything he could carry.

The burglary took place Thursday around 9 a.m. in Willow Springs on German Church Road, the woman said. The incident was captured on security camera her husband installed.

"He tossed my life in the backseat and drove off," the homeowner said. "I pray that karma and the police get him."

The incident was over in 10 minutes and the thief was gone.

"I grew up in this house and I do not feel safe," the homeowner said. "I cannot get rid of this uneasy feeling."

A bulletin sent by police last week warned residents of two other similar burglaries that happened to homes in Willow Springs and Burr Ridge.

Police have confirmed they are investigating and are in contact with other departments to see if this is a pattern.
