Really strange. It they moved the wrong address, I would think someone
would notice and things get sorted out. Really amazing what can go on
and nobody sees a thing.

This happened to one of my friends. Gone for a weekend and returned
to an empty house. Sucks.
It's the more personal items that are stolen that have me wondering
what that's all about. Things like photographs, mementos of your kids
early years and so on.
In Houston, circa 1982-1983, it was common for thieves to knock down the
back fence in a new, unfinished subdivision, back a truck up to the back
door, and raid a new, freshly-furnished home. They only took valuable stuff
though. It's odd that someone would take the time and incur the risk of
taking everything.
It's unlikely a move "made a mistake" because they'd need keys etc., and the
timing is to fortuitous. If I was thedetective, I'd be all over the
housesitter and his/her contacts.
That said, anybody want to buy some fine furniture pieces, old pics, etc?

It could be that the thieves knew that Simon would be gone for some time and
they were going to see if they could rent or sell the place to some
unsuspecting soul with a healthy cash up front deal......
