A woman whose home was burglarized as she stayed with her daughter was shocked to spot her belongings offered at a neighbor's yard sale, Anne Arundel County police say. Police said they found $25,000 worth of her clothes, furnishings and other possessions - even a fur coat - on the property. Stunned, the women stopped and told the seller he was peddling the woman's stolen goods. He admitted that the merchandise was hers, not his, and she called police, court papers say. The seller told police that he bought the woman's belongings for $100 from a man who came by a few times, most recently about three weeks ago, in an aqua-colored pickup truck, according to charging documents. The officer, however, suspected that the seller had looted what he thought was an abandoned home. Police charged (sic....him) with burglary and theft.
