He is even believed to have absconded with some of the art!

San Francisco police say they foiled an art thief who, while squatting in a multimillion dollar Presidio Heights home that was for sale, stole and sold hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of paintings, most of which were quickly recovered.

On Saturday, around 11 p.m., officers responded to reports of a suspicious person at what Officer Carlos Manfredi, an agency spokesman, described as a “mansion” on the 3800 block of Washington Street.

Though police would not confirm the exact address, the only house for sale on the block, according to online listings, appeared to be an 8-bedroom, 7-bath “single family home” listed at just over $17 million — and that’s after being cut from the original asking price of $25 million when it first went on the market in 2012....

At the home, officers contacted Kaylor, 39, of Dragoon, Ariz., who told police that he was in the process of buying the home and produced fraudulent legal documents to back up his claims, Manfredi said.


Of course, the guy is from Arizona. Can it be?
