I'm sure it was a cat burglar.
I'll bet you never hear about a DOG burglar. Nope, cats do sinister things, not dogs.
My vote is to post an ad here on INGO: "WTT one alarm tripping anxiety-building cat for a good carry flashlight. Take this cat, please, or I will give it to Scutter three days after the OP."
Once you get the light, take a flashlight course if you can. I had one recently with Mindset Labs and picked up a lot of new information, as well as some good reminders to boot.
