The old saying is: When the cat is away, the mice will play. With recent break-ins in Wilkes, maybe we should change the old saying to: When the homeowner is away, the thieves will play. A Roaring River resident had been away from home for a couple of days. When he returned, he saw that his Playstation 3 and games were gone. There was no sign of forced entry; however, Sheriff’s Investigators found a gap between the basement door and frame that could have been forced open to gain access inside the house. Nothing else from the home was reported stolen, but that which was taken totaled over 700 dollars. There are no suspects.
