"Half of the foyer marble floor had been pried up and removed," read the Oakland County Sheriff's Office report. "Various kitchen cabinets had been removed from the wall and taken," too, the report said.

The home's previous owners, named as suspects in the report, were forced to move out two weeks before, when the bank foreclosed on the home. "The suspects had been forced out and were not happy at being made to leave," read the report.
