A couple came home sometime after midnight and found a black man in his late 20s to early 30s, who was wearing a red hoodie and blue jeans, inside the home, according to Bowling Green Police Department records.

When the couple confronted the man he said he was looking for a friend. They told him to leave and he left out of the back door. When the vehicle owner woke up, her overnight bag was missing along with her 2010 white Toyota Highlander with an Indiana plate.
