FAST FACTS:
(Memphis 10/28/2011) At the Walden Pointe Apartment Homes in Raleigh, the phrase love thy neighbor probably does not apply to what happened Sunday inside a unit at 4126 Yellow Birch.
Anthony Miller has lived in this apartment community for three years.
Miller said, "That's strange and different. That's really, really bold."
Miller is talking about how a woman who lives here came home to find her apartment door kicked in and her home had been cleaned out.
The burglary victim went next door to ask if anyone had seen anything and got the surprise of her life. Memphis police say she saw Crystal Jones, 20, and Angela Pittman, 26, sitting on her stolen plaid couch.
The woman's glass and wrought iron dining room set, coffee table and desk were also in her neighbor's apartment.
Jones & Pittman are charged with burglary and felony theft. They were held at Shelby County's Jail East on $10,000 bond.
Darius Lurry said as bizarre as the crime sounds, he's not surprised.
Lurry said, "We're in Memphis. That's all you can say. You got to get it how you get it now."
Rosemarie Morales just moved into this apartment complex last month. She's already thinking about moving.
Morales said, "Oh, very lowdown. This is disgusting. That's horrible. You can't even leave stuff around here and be safe."
Walter Jones says he's also been a crime victim here.
Jones said, "Like I said when I first moved down here my car got broken into twice. I thought it was better down here than in Chicago, but it's not."
Police say always remember the Three L's when protecting your home. They are lights, lock and call the law when you see something suspicious.
But Anthony Miller says he's also going to keep a watchful eye on his neighbors.
Miller said, "I'm very selective about the company I keep. Outside of that, I suggest everybody keep their eye open. I try to keep as vigilant for my neighbors as they would for me."
