“I came home from work, and the garage door was open. I thought I forgot to close it, but then I noticed the back door was open too,” says Jeanne Storm,* a homeowner in St. Louis, Missouri. “I walked into the kitchen and there was glass everywhere.”

The sun was still shining outside, she recalls, which made it even harder to believe what the broken glass really meant. Storm and her husband were the victims of a well-planned burglary that happened in broad daylight.
