There is a serial Tickler on the loose. Three separate break-ins in the span of less than two hours in a Brighton Tuesday morning have residents looking at everyone at each other. It's really creepy especially when this person breaks in to your house and doesn't take anything. It sounds like a creepy joke but the first man who was tickled says it was just before 4 a.m. When he woke up to find a man standing in his bedroom.

A second man who lives about a quarter-mile away told police he woke up around 4:50 a.m. to find someone standing in his room. A third incident happened around 5:20 a.m. A resident told the Police that his roommate woke up to a strange man tickling his feet.

"My roommate felt a tickling on his foot and he thought it was the cat. He woke up and there was a man crouched right by his bed," said David Master, who lives in the house. "He yelled and kicked at the guy and he ran out and I woke up from the yelling and saw him run past my bedroom door."

"It's still a little bit funny that he tickles your feet," said Stephen Valencia, "He's broken into my house twice during spring semester and both times it was in the middle of the night."

But police say it's no laughing matter. In all three instances early Tuesday morning, the victims say the man was wearing a mask. Nothing was stolen in any of the break-ins.

"I really dont know what to make if it. It's odd. Very creepy," Master said, adding that he and his roommate would lock their doors and windows as well, and "just try to be more careful."
