Man says intruder broke into his home, cleaned it immaculately and then left

MARLBOROUGH, Mass. – A Massachusetts father came home to a sparkling clean house — but he has no idea who tidied it.

Nate Roman told The Boston Globe he knew something was wrong when he and his son returned to their Marlborough home on May 15th and the 5-year-old noticed the back door was ajar.

The 44-year-old said he was worried someone was still inside, but instead of an intruder he found the smell of cleaning supplies still in the air, and every room except the kitchen immaculately clean.

Roman said his son’s room, which had been a mess that morning, was spotless – complete with a “very neatly folded rose” folded origami-style on his toilet paper.

Unsure of who had been in the house, Roman called the police. Marlborough police officials didn’t immediately return a call for comment, but told NBC News that they had no leads or suspects in the case.

Roman called the experience “creepy,” but thinks it may have been a housecleaning service with the wrong address. The Massachusetts dad said he likely left the back door unlocked, something he doesn’t plan on doing in the future.

"One day I walked into my house and found out that someone had broken in stolen all my stuff and replaced them with exact replicas. I called my friend over and I said, 'Hey, someone broke into my house stole all my stuff and replaced them with exact replicas, can you believe that?' He said, 'Do I know you?"

The signature of the robber, called the Courteous Crook, was that he cleaned the house before he left. I am picturing the antics from that episode as I read this!
