ORLANDO, Fla. -- Orlando police picked up two burglary suspects caught with a bizarre stash, including chocolates, a toothbrush and porn. A woman said she walked in on the two men inside her Lake Eola Heights home. Police believe the two men are responsible for at least two break-ins Friday afternoon.

Police caught their suspect with typical high dollar items and some things you might not expect would catch the eye of a crook.

Police had their guns drawn on East Concord Street Friday after a desperate 9-1-1 call from Jessica Graseski. She heard a strange noise when she came home for lunch.

"I thought it was my roommate, so I just screamed and was like, 'Are you there? Is anyone here?' and I just ran outside and called 9-1-1," she said.

A moment later, she said, she was face to face with two men walking out of her home.

"I was in the driveway and the dispatcher said don't go after him, even though my instinct was to follow them and get my things back," Graseski said.

Police picked up the two suspects and the bag of items a few minutes later. One suspect claimed all of it was his, but Graseski and her roommate could identify just about everything, from a digital camera with their pictures to chocolates to her roommates toothbrush and shower kit.

Also in the bag were Playboy magazines, plenty of them.

"That is not ours, thank you very much. We did not have Playboy," Graseski told police.

It turns out, police think the suspects hit another home on Highland Street. The resident turned up a short time later to reclaim the stolen items. He left before Channel 9 could ask him any questions about his break-in.

Police also found some receipts on the suspects for a pawn shop. They're trying to determine if they're responsible for other break-ins in the area.
