Read the bizarre note brazen burglar left for homeowner in gated community after breaking-in, making spaghetti then washing up the dishes

A homeowner was left dumbfounded by 'kind crook' who broke into his house, made himself spaghettie, washed up and left him a very strange note. 

An as-yet-unidentified man has been prowling the gated community of Clearwood, in Thurston County in Washington State, for the last week, breaking into people's cars and properties. 

Several homeowners in the area have revealed their strange experiences with the man. 

Local man Eddie Andujo told K5 he thought he was being pranked when he first saw the note on his kitchen table on Friday, which read: 'I needed food, badly. I broke into your house. Please forgive me. I ate your food and washed my clothes and showered.

Andujo said the note had an additional note, which read: 'P.S. Your popcorn maker wasn't working properly.'

The note read: 'I needed food, badly. I broke into your house. Please forgive me. I ate your food and washed my clothes and showered. P.S. Your popcorn maker wasn't working properly.'

The homeowner added: 'He made spaghetti. But the funny part is, he washed his dishes. So he was a nice crook I guess, I don't know ... and he folded the blankets he used.'

But others in the area aren't pleased with the series of incidents. 

Local woman Bethany Stirber said: 'He actually broke into my car, and he got my garage key, and he got my gate key. 

'He tried to get into my garage while I was home and we scared him off, but then he keeps coming back. And then every time we call the cops, it's too — there's too much time.'

Homeowners are worried that the lack of cell service in the area will make the problem worse. 

Stirber said: 'I caught him again on Sunday.  called 911. I could hear them, and they couldn't hear me. And they didn't get here in time. He got away.'

A Thurston County Sheriff's Office spokesperson told local media that while it is not out of the question that they put an emphasis on patrolling the Clearwood community, their staffing roster is currently stretched thin.
