When Aaron Pace unlocked his North Dallas apartment after a week-long work trip last Friday, he did not walk into a quiet homecoming. He walked into a stripped-down shell. Electronics were gone, personal belongings had been scooped up, and his place looked like it had been turned inside out. Shaken and no longer feeling safe, Pace says he is already planning to move. With no renters insurance to help cover the loss, he has launched an online fundraiser to replace what was stolen and fix what was damaged.

According to WFAA, security footage from a neighbor’s unit shows the trouble starting on Dec. 17. In the video, a man in a red robe walks up to Pace’s door and, investigators and neighbors say, gets inside after removing a metal security bar from the sliding glass door. The same camera later records two people coming back on Dec. 18, making multiple trips in and out with a television and other items in hand.
Neighbors told reporters the suspects have also cut or disabled security cameras during an earlier break-in at the complex, a pattern that has residents on edge.
