From the July 12, 2005 News-Press:
A Bonita Springs beach resident held a burglar at gunpoint and on the floor until deputies arrived after the man allegedly broke into a rental home over the weekend.
The accused burglar, 40-year-old David Weber, told officials that when he found out Hurricane Dennis was on its way he looked for empty homes along the beach where he could stay.
He chose 27586 Hickory Blvd., a home belonging to Michael and Chris Bielski, a Bonita zoning board member, because it had no cars in the driveway and no one answered the door when he knocked.
From Friday through Sunday Weber used the Bielskis' home to shower, brush his teeth and watch television.
"I have warned people up and down the beach on Saturday ... to beware of looters," said Bonita Councilman Bob Wag-ner. "He evidently tried several other places and fortunately people were home.
"They (the burglar) happened to pick on the wrong person," Wagner said.
...
On Sunday morning, Chris Bielski was walking on the beach when she noticed a towel hanging on the railing of the couple's rental home.
Michael Bielski went to the residence armed with a gun and found Weber in the living room. Bielski pulled out his weapon and ordered Weber on the floor until deputies arrived.
