Up to $1 million in designer gear stolen in closet heist

THE WOODLANDS, Texas - A burglar has taken up to $1 million in designer bags, jewelry and furs from the 3,000-square-foot closet of a suburban Houston woman who uses the room for charity fundraisers.

Theresa Roemer says she and Montgomery County sheriff's deputies believe recent TV and magazine publicity about her closet attracted the burglar Friday night to her home in The Woodlands.

Roemer tells the Houston Chronicle she and her husband forgot to set an alarm before they went out Friday. The theft has been captured on a video given to authorities.

The intruder, wearing a jump suit and a hoodie, broke in through a bathroom window. The video shows he made four trips over 40 minutes, filling designer luggage with loot.

Detectives on Saturday were collecting fingerprints and DNA evidence.

Roemer told CBS affiliate KHOU some of what was stolen from her three-story closet is irreplaceable.

"He took heirloom items that were passed to me from my husband's mother that has passed away," she said through tears. "I mean I don't care about all this crap. I really don't care about this crap. I care about the stuff that was passed to me."

"No one deserves this," she continued. "I don't care if you're wealthy. I don't care if you're poor. Your personal belongings are your personal belongings."
