A Maryland woman returned home from vacation to find two strangers in her bed and more than $49,000 in possessions stolen.(snip)

When the woman and her friend left for vacation on March 28, the apartment had been "fully furnished." Upon their return, they found the whole house in disorder.

"The living room was completely empty except for black trash bags filled with items, trash on the walls, the kitchen was completely empty and the cabinet doors were missing, the second bedroom was completely empty, the closets were completely empty and the bedroom was empty except for the bed the suspects were lying on," the police said.(snip)

When the woman attempted to leave the room, the man tackled her and told her that she could have her apartment back, but she was not allowed to call the police. The woman told police that she began filming him as he was gathering up his belongings and explaining how he entered her home, according to the outlet.

"I just couldn't believe this was happening to me. I see this on TV," the woman said. "They really took over my apartment, and I was just trying to remain calm. But at the same time, I just couldn't believe this was happening to me. I come home and literally two people are in my bed relaxing."

The police department was made aware that the man informed the woman that he planned to do this again at another apartment, according to the outlet.

While Maryland does not have a "Stand Your Ground" law, more than 20 states, including Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, and Texas, do.

At our house in GA there would be two dead “intruders”.

I wouldn’t keep the bodies at my house. :)

And that is exactly why you don’t post your vacation plans on line.

Besides the crab pool you will also need some netting and a couple of concrete blocks. Criminal corpses tend to float away if you don’t pin them down.
