Sarah Haley told ABC15 she left for California over the weekend. She received a call on December 17 that her home had been burglarized. When she returned, she said the crooks had taken her motorcycle, clothes, electronics and even food from her refrigerator.

"Every cupboard was opened, every drawer was opened and overturned," Haley said.

The burglars apparently broke in through the front door of her home, near 35th and Southern avenues.

"They had a great time cleaning out my house," Haley said.

While she is out an estimated $22,000 in stolen items, it's what the burglars left for her that's left a lingering fear. On a mirror near her front door, she said the crooks used a marker and drew a gang sign along with a message, which read 'We'll be back soon, honey, love you."

"It's almost scary enough to need to move out of your house," she said.

Haley said she has since bought a security door, alarm system and weapons, and is left to hope the criminals are caught.

"This has been almost harder than anything I've had to deal with in my life," she said.

Authorities are investigating the incident. If you have any information, you are urged to call Phoenix police.
