FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla. -- Two men are behind bars in the Lee County Jail facing a laundry list of charges in connection to nearly ten burglaries over several days in Fort Myers Beach.  Between the two, they're facing 27 charges, 23 of those are felonies.  

The wrap sheets for the two men are seven pages.  Both have a criminal history including battery, stalking and drug charges.  

Now the two are facing charges of grand theft and burglary, after deputies said they stole thousands of dollars in things not belonging to them.  Victims said being violated isn't rushing them to protect their possessions.

Janice Arnold said after her car was broken into and ransacked, she's kept a watchful eye out in her Fort Myers Beach neighborhood.

"We know there are a lot of rental houses around here and we know its isolated but we lock our doors but not the car," said Arnold.

Arnold doesn't have an alarm on her house or car and said she doesn't need one.

"I've got a big dog and he barks now.  I have motion lights here and I never used to turn them on but I turn them on now," said Arnold.

The Swanbeck family was home when their privacy was invaded.

"Someone had gone into our house, they think through the front door because there was no sign of forced entry, and we were all upstairs sleeping," said Sarah Swanbeck.

The two men walked through the front door because it was unlocked.

"We were violated but it was our fault.  We just have to take it into consideration to be more careful," said Swanbeck.

Sean Hogan, 20, and Aaron Harnage, 24, are facing a slew of felony charges including burglary, grand theft and petit theft.  Charges between the two are 23.

Deputies said they hit at least eight houses on Fort Myers Beach over several days.  

Derek Movalli at All American Alarm said an average break-in lasts between five and seven minutes.  A warning to criminals can sometimes be all it takes.

"If you're going to have an alarm system, a big part of it, is to make sure that siren goes off and can scare the guy away," said Movalli.

Catching criminals in the act is something Movalli said may or may not happen if the siren is disabled.

"Its you risking your own stuff," said Movalli.

Back on Fort Myers Beach, alarms aren't the norm and homeowners said that's enough for them.

"I've been living here and never locked my car doors before so ok, now I do," said Arnold.

Both Hogan and Harnage are behind bars at the Lee County Jail.  If convicted on all charges, they could face thousands of dollars in fines and a long time in prison.
