Someone Breaks Into House, Turns Up Heat


Dec 2, 5:29 PM (ET)


HARBORCREEK, Pa. (AP) - An Erie County homeowner returned from a Florida visit to even warmer climes - his house, where police say someone had broken in and had turned up the man's thermostat all the way.

Whoever broke into Paul Rogala's Harborcreek Township home did so by forcing open a basement window. The person then used duct tape to cover a hole in the window - but before leaving, turned up the thermostat and turned on the furnace fan so it was running constantly, state police said.

Rogala turned the thermostat down to 50 degrees when he left Nov. 20 for the visit to 80-degree Florida. He and his family returned Monday, police said.

The house was not otherwise ransacked or disturbed, and nothing appeared to be stolen, Rogala said Wednesday.

You would have thought Miss Callie would have learned better last time.
