Hurricane holdout makes himself at home.

As hurricane Dennis approached Bonita Springs, Florida, in early July, many local residents left the area and headed for safety, giving looters plenty of opportunity to wreak havoc.

One burglar, Davis Weber, took advantage of the evacuation to troll for empty residences. He went from house to house, knocking on doors, looking for unoccupied residences, reported the News-Press. If someone happened to answer his knock, he told the person that he was looking for the owner of a bodyboard that he bad found on the beach. When he came across an apparently unoccupied residence that didn't have cars in the driveway, he broke in and made himself at home--showering, brushing his teeth, and watching television.

The beachfront home that he broke into belonged to Michael and Chris Bielski.

On Sunday, July 10, Mrs. Bielski was walking on the beach near the house, which is a rental property, and saw a towel hanging from the railing. She alerted her husband, and he got a gun and investigated. Inside the residence, Bielski found Weber in the living room and held him at gunpoint until police arrived.

Bielski said that he had confronted Weber on his property the previous day, asked him to leave, and then saw him walk onto another property. He called the police, but they did not locate Weber--until he was caught by Bielski the next day.
