Two burglars broke into an elderly woman's home in Honolulu while she slept, a frightening reminder that home break-ins are climbing across Oahu.

• Two people cut a window screen and climbed into a 90-year-old woman's Moanalua Valley home around 2 a.m., wandering the house for about 20 minutes while she slept.
• They took her purse and keys off the kitchen counter and drove off in her car, which police later recovered in Honolulu.
• Police classified the case as first-degree burglary, one of 375 such cases opened on Oahu so far this year.
• The woman is shaken and traumatized, and her family has spent the week closing and reopening accounts and dealing with the fallout.

Outlook: The case is still under investigation, and neighbors say they are staying more alert after seeing how easily it happened.
