I definitely would not unless they filed a proper police report and there is record of the break-in.

Bridget I would try to get out of that contract quick.If it's the area I am thinking of it is a war zone.I looked in the city of Atlanta for awhile.Mostly old homes with high taxes in horrible areas.Some of the streets are called "gun alley drive" - not joking.When I drove these areas during the day I had a few people in the car and locked the doors,didn't slow down,and didn't exit the vehicle.It's pretty bad when you see police avoid driving in certain areas.Not saying this is where your property is at but I would be shocked if it was in a good area.These properties even with rehabbing the exterior mechanicals will be stolen again within the week.A key is how many homes are vacant on that street and is the area transitioning down or up in its cycle as far as crime and revitalization.I don't like the older homes in Atlanta.They sit on small lots so the land is not valuable.They have very high taxes with some at 3,000 or more a year based on inflated assesments from years ago.The properties are also very old in age.Many of these properties had lipstick put on them for flips years ago for fraud.Now with these old properties you will be eaten alive in costs with possible lead paint,galvanized pipes,asbestos,foundation issues,radon,mold,etc.

Do you just call the police/sherrif's dept. and ask?

During rehab -- Neighborhood hasn't been terrible but there have been some police activity on other streets.

You're going to want to be VERY careful here with how you proceed in case some descendant gets a stick up their butt and decides to make your life a living hell.The first time you enter the home, photograph and video record EVERYTHING in or around the property.

I'd be sure to notify the police about her/ post tenants beware

After leaving the USAF I was a Police Officer for two years.

Josh and Brandon and moderators police for site rule adherence, not for bad business models or even known scammers.  

(That involves her making a police complaint.)
