On August 22, on the 400 block of Carvalos Drive in Bonita, while the residents of the home were unaware, a grand larceny, one involving two Hermes multi-colored blankets valued at $5,000 each, was unfolding under their very nose, as stated by the San Diego County Sheriff's Office.

The alleged thief navigated through the premises and committed the crime in broad daylight. Surveillance cameras captured footage of him and his peculiar getaway vehicle. A Chrysler 200 convertible, with aftermarket rims.
