A Moss Beach resident came home one day in May to find his bedroom window broken. At the time, the victim did not discover anything missing from his home and, therefore, he did not report it to the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office. About a month later, the victim's girlfriend discovered that five pieces of her jewelry and the jewelry box were missing from the bathroom. She estimated the loss at about $4,000. The victim still didn't call the Sheriff's Office - until his insurance company told him he would need a report in order to file a claim. He spoke to Sheriff's deputies on June 29.
