MARYLAND HEIGHTS, MO – A Maryland heights, Missouri resident, Kathy Brown, has been battling various problems in her community. After enduring tornado damage to her home in April, Kathy hired a contractor to complete repairs to her home. She gave a contractor thousands of dollars to complete work in her two bathrooms. The contractor failed to complete the job and caused more damage to her home.
During the duration of the contractor’s work, Kathy noticed her pistol (revolver), that was stored in her bed stand, was missing. She searched throughout her home for the pistol and was unable to locate it. There was no evidence of forced entry of her home and the only possible suspect could be the contractor.
She filed a police report with the Maryland Height’s Police Department. Since then, by advice of Maryland Heights Police and Lowes professional, it was suggested to have no further contact with the suspect.
Further investigation revealed that the contractor had not provided evidence of their skills and credibility to competently complete the work. There was no way to learn if the contractor has a criminal history and no contract for the work to be done was made. The Maryland Heights Detectives said the theft is still under investigation and recommend better vigilance when inviting contractors to do work.
