The stolen items ranged from personal electronics to clothing and household goods, with an estimated total value exceeding several thousand dollars. The surveillance footage provided by vigilant homeowners led detectives to identify the individual and track him down to his residence.

Boise authorities are urging residents to take precautionary measures, such as tracking package deliveries, requiring signatures upon delivery, or utilizing secure drop-off locations. By adopting these practices, homeowners can minimize the risk of falling victim to similar crimes in the future. The Boise Police Department advises anyone with additional information related to this investigation to contact their detectives via their non-emergency line or submit tips anonymously through the Crime Stoppers hotline to aid in the ongoing investigation.
