Police said they believe she’s knocking on doors and, if no one answers and the door is unlocked, she’ll walk in looking for cash, wallets, and jewelry.

At one location, police said the woman was confronted by an employee who took the woman’s photo and a photo of the early 2000s silver Honda Accord she was seen driving.

If anyone recognizes the woman, they are asked to call the Wildwood Police Department or their local police department.
