Someone smashed a glass door to break into a home on the 400 block of Golden Oak Drive in Portola Valley on Wednesday, Feb. 1, according to a San Mateo County Sheriff's Office press release.

At about 7:50 p.m. the home's burglary alarm went off but the suspect (or suspects) were gone by the time police arrived. The master bedroom was ransacked. The broken door will cost about $5,000 to repair, but the homeowner doesn't know how much worth of stolen goods were taken.

In July, there was a residential burglary on the 200 block of Golden Oak Drive. The burglar also broke a glass door to get inside.
