The home of two Austin residents out-of-town for the winter was reportedly broken into earlier this week.

Police were notified of the apparent break-in Tuesday evening by a 40-year-old son of the couple, according to a police report. He was doing a routine check on the home, located in the 1300 block of Eighth Avenue Northwest, and noticed both a missing screen door and a smashed patio door.

The son went inside and noticed that a set of keys and a garage door opener were missing, though police are waiting for the couple to return to possibly identify additional missing items.
