Ryan Haddock said burglars visited a house he owns on South Seminole once again.

He said the thief got in the same back door that was entered a week earlier. He had plywood over it because he had not had time to repair it.

He said the latest burglar had to content himself with trying to break into a piggy bank that had some coins in it.
