Police say a woman returned to her home in the 2700 block of West Savannah after an errand on Friday night to find clothes strewn all over the basement laundry room and bleach poured on them.
She went upstairs to call her husband. While she was on the phone, a man wearing only blue boxer shorts came up from the basement, grabbed her purse and ran out the door, police said.
The woman chased the man and pulled the purse away from him, Sgt. Diane Varnell said.
The suspect was described as a white man in his 30s, 5-feet-9 and 250 pounds, with light-colored hair.
On further inspection, the woman found the man's jeans and belt in her washing machine. Police said he entered the house by climbing through a window in the basement.
Evidence at the scene indicated the man decided he needed to wash his clothes, Varnell said, and he broke into the house to do laundry thinking no one was home.
