RENO COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating a break-in at a rural home in Reno County.

The man seen in a security video entered into an abandoned residence located in the rural southwestern portion of Reno County, according to a social media report from the sheriff's office.

It is apparent the subject was aware of the cameras in the home as he provided a couple one-fingered salutes to them.

It's unknown what the person was looking for as this house had a recent foreclosure which resulted in an auction. So not much bang for his buck considering the steps he took in breaking in with his backpack and ready-to-steal-something bandana disguise
