If Scott had someone do it, why not just give the person a key?
To make it look like he was not involved?

Yaelle,

I don't know that Scott really did have someone break into the house. I've theorized that it could have been someone in Laci's family, wanting a memento when they heard he was going to sell the house. Or possibly someone wanted some paperwork, such as the financial statements that were delivered several weeks ago or the appraisal on the house. It's hard to say.

If it were me, I would have wanted to know what SP gave Laci for Christmas. He probably took the tree down long ago and took the present back to the store or gave it to a new potential girlfriend.

OTOH, it could have been Scott's dad or a brother or friend as well. As another poster mentioned, they could have been putting something back into the house (my thought was a golf club to complete the set?) or they may have wanted something else.

The broken window is a clue to me that it was probably Laci's family or friend of her family. As you point out, if Scott or a family member were to be tampering with something in the house or removing something, they could just get a key. Unless, of course, it was staged to support some burglar/murderer story that SP was attempting to establish.
