I feel sorry for this poor woman. People suck.

An older Rome resident was the victim of a “distraction” burglary on Sept. 19 while a man asked her about buying some trees in her backyard, according to Rome police.

A man knocked at the woman’s door in the north section of Rome and said he owned a tree service, police said. He said he was interested in buying some small trees in her backyard and asked the victim to come outside with him, police said. The woman left the front door unlocked when she went outside, they said.

The woman and the man talked about trees for several minutes, during which the man was also speaking into his cell phone in Spanish, police said. After several minutes, the victim asked for some identification and the man said he would go to his vehicle to get it, police said. But he left and when the woman went back inside, she discovered that someone had ransacked several rooms and stolen some valuables, police said.
