Brazen burglar breaks in while Mansfield couple watch TV

Tom and Peggy McElvoy sat watching a television rerun of Jag late Monday night in their Mansfield home, using special headphones so they could hear better.

And as they watched television, a brazen burglar broke the glass of a patio door about 20 feet from where the elderly couple was sitting.

As they continued to watch their program, unaware of what was going on behind them, the burglar went to the McElvoys' bedroom and rooted through a 3-foot-high jewelry chest. The burglar took several necklaces, rings, watches and an assortment of other jewelry. He also snatched the first ring that the 79-year-old Tom McElvoy gave his 79-year-old wife.

In a closet, the burglar also took money and credit cards he found.

Then he slipped away unnoticed. The McElvoys didn't realize they had been burglarized until they went to their bedroom and found the door locked.  More
