Toledo police are investigating a bizarre burglary incident.

Police were called to the home of two women in response to a burglary report around 3:20 a.m.  

One of the woman told police that she woke up to find a man eating food in her bedroom. The woman described the man as tall, thin white male with short, cropped hair and wearing a gray shirt. 

He was later identified as Gerald Conger.

The woman told police that Conger said, "hi," and then walked out of her bedroom.

Police say the woman woke up her mother, who went into the kitchen to find Conger eating their Frosted Flakes. She then told Conger to get out of their house, which he did. 

Police say the woman called her husband, and once he arrived home she called the police. 

The woman told police the TV was sitting on the floor and had been disconnected, and the only thing Conger took was her ID card from her wallet that was sitting on the table. 

When police asked the woman how Conger got into the house, she said they do not lock their front door. 

Police were later approached by a clerk at Four Star Books adult entertainment store. 

The clerk told police he had to kick out a man around 3:30 a.m. because he was drunk and passed out in one of the viewing booths. 

The clerk said the man forgot his wallet, and described the man as tall and thin with short hair and wearing a gray shirt and blue jeans. The clerk also said the store has interior and exterior video of the suspect.

Police looked in the man's wallet and found Conger's ID card. Police showed the ID card to the two victims, who confirmed he was the man who broke into their house. 

Police went to the address listed on Conger's ID card to question him, but there was no answer at the door. Police believe Conger was under the influence of drugs and alcohol at the time of the incidents.

The investigation in ongoing.
