Burglary of unoccupied dwelling. Smiley faces. Peace signs. Crude depictions of the male genitalia.
That's what police observed inside a residence after a homeowner called to file a report about a burglary that took place a couple months ago. According to the police report, the homeowner's nephew had noticed the graffiti — as well as broken garage door, sliding glass door and windows – in June, but he waited to report it until his insurance company informed him they needed a police report.
The homeowner told police that the neighborhood's homeowners association had warned him to be careful due to reports of transient activity, carbreaks and burglaries in the area. A neighbor also told police she remembered seeing two teen boys in the area with black spray cans during the time of the incident.
Also missing from the home was a kitchen cabinet, valued at $3,800. In total, the homeowner reported damages to be between $8,000 and $9,000. He wished to press charges if a suspect is identified.

Trespassing. A 65-year-old Ormond Beach woman called police after a man entered her opened garage and knocked on outside windows, trying to get her attention.
The woman confronted him and told him to leave, and the man, a 23-year-old from Georgia, complied, "slowly walking away," according to an incident report.
Police located the man in the area; he was barefoot and told police that he was trying to get away from a girl he had been "hooking up" with. He also told police he was drunk.
When asked what he drank, the man said "everything." He explained he had knocked on the woman's door to get help.
The man's vehicle was found nearby. One shoe was behind it and another about 100-200 feet in front. The man was taken to the hospital and issued a trespass warning.
