While canvassing the neighborhood to investigate the burglary on Highland, officers spoke to a 73-year-old woman, also in the 3400 block, who related the following. Two days earlier, at 1 PM, a young man came to her door. He said he was from the gas company and asked her to let him inside to check the meter. But when she requested ID, he could not produce it. So she refused to let him in and he walked away. She described him as about 25, black, short black hair, 5'8" and 200 pounds. Asked why she did not report it when it happened, the woman said she did not think he looked suspicious.
