Suspicious male walks into student's home
At 12 p.m. Tuesday, officers met with a Miami University junior who reported an unknown male in his mid-fifties with a scruffy face came to her door asking about some recent repairs to her house.
She reportedly asked the male if he was going to fix the other problems she had reported to Oxford Real Estate. He reportedly appeared to know what she was talking about, so she let him in the house.
As she was showing him some of the problems, he reportedly came into her bedroom. The female student reportedly left the room first and he followed a short time after her.
Once the male left, the student reportedly noticed her cell phone and iPod were missing from her bedroom. She reportedly searched her entire room and could not find either of the items. She reportedly called the phone several times, but it was turned off.
