Home Owner Robbed and Beaten Up Showing His Listed Home to Strangers
It’s a lesson worth repeating: Do NOT let strangers into your home, no matter how nice they seem. Glendale, Arizona police are looking for suspects in robbery/assault where one man failed to remember 
this important instruction.
The incident occurred at a listing near Old Town Glendale. The homeowner was watering his front lawn, when a couple approached and asked to see his home. Initially, the homeowner did what all good agents teach their sellers to do: he referred the inquiry to the listing agent.
The couple, however, continued to chat with the homeowner, who eventually let his guard down and allowed the seemingly nice lady and man into his house. Once inside, they robbed him of his wallet and damaged his cell phone so he could not call the police. The assailants are described as white, late 30s to early 40s in age. The man is 5'8"; to 5'9"; and the woman 
slightly smaller, both with medium builds.
The homeowner was unable to provide any additional details. The suspects were driving a late model brown/dark gold 4-door Buick with a coat hanger as its antenna. If you see such a couple, please contact local police with a location and, if possible, a license plate number.
Agents, it if you’ve forgotten or let it slide, this is a GREAT reminder to reiterate to your sellers that they should NEVER allow anyone they do not know to access their home. They should refer any and all inquiries to the listing agent, no matter how nice the “prospective buyers” seem. This, as we’ve seen in this unfortunate incident, is for the homeowner’s own protection.
