The owner of a Finestrat restaurant Sr Vallejo woke to the sounds of intruders in his home on Puerta de Hierro urbanisation in La Nucía.
Sukier Vallejo went to investigate and found an open door and that two bags were missing. One of the bags contained a camera and the other personal documents and cash.
Sr Vallejo gave chase to the burglars but was unable to catch them. After alerting the police and the Guardia Civil who carried out a search of the zone Sr Vallejo was resigned to having lost his belongings, however the next day a neighbour called to ask him what his bags were doing on his patio.
After explaining the situation it appears the burglars dumped the bags during the chase.
Despite losing the cash and some jewellery Sr Vallejo recovered the rest of his belongings.
