DALLAS - A man who has lived in the Kessler Park neighborhood of Dallas for more than two decades says he's never had an issue with theft until a recent home remodeling project. Now, he's had over $100,000 stolen from his home.

What they're saying:
"Ransacked the home. Stole quite a lot from us, did a lot of damage."
Burglars have broken into Randal Lawrence's house on Clinton Street in Kessler Park twice during a renovation project being done at the home.
Last Wednesday, two men were caught on surveillance video around 2 a.m. breaking through the barrier wall of the residence and entering through the front door.
"Two people broke in the back, broke through our barrier wall and entered the front of the home where we have our things stored," Lawrence tells FOX 4's Shaun Rabb.
This past Monday at around 4 a.m., Lawrence returned to the home to check on an inoperable camera to find the same two men inside the house.

"We were approaching the house, and they came out the front, yelled something at us, and then fled out the back," Lawrence continued.
Lawrence says over $100,000 has been stolen from his house. He tells Rabb he's never had an issue with burglaries in over two decades of living on Clinton Street.
Last Tuesday, the same pair of burglars were caught in a neighbor's yard attempting to break into another residence under renovation.
