Miami news anchor and his TV make the crime log

It wasn't hard for thieves to guess when Charles Billi would be out. The Miami newsman anchors WSVN's weekend news shows at 5, 6 and 10 p.m.

After Saturday's last broadcast, a police officer called to tell Billi his Miami Shores home had been hit. "He said, 'Charles, you're not going to like this. Your TV is in the middle of your front yard,' " Billi recounted to Florida Today.

The thieves apparently dropped Billi's high-def TV after being seen by a neighbor. They took about 300 DVDs, watches, electronics and a big jar of spare change, Billi said. "Every piece of furniture was flipped upside down," he said. "They trashed the place."
