Karl said this is the second time something like this has happened in the office building. And instead of working, Karl had to take more time out of her day to file a police report and cancel her credit cards.

"First of all you have all your personal, you feel like you're being invaded," she said.  "Your personal stuff's in there - the keys to your car. Is that gonna get stolen, is he gonna come back - is he gonna go to your home," she said.

She said she is very frustrated and has a message for others.

"To be more aware, unfortunately lock your doors, I mean even if it's an office situation opposed to a residence - my recommendation is to be aware of your surroundings," said Karl.

And hopes this person is caught so the suspected thief does not strike again.

"I want this person to be caught," she said.
