When she looked out the sliding glass door, she saw that the screen enclosure was torn and her patio furniture knocked over. The furniture was lying in front of the screen that was torn. The complainant stated she did not see anyone inside her patio. It did not appear that someone made entry into the lanai and looks like the wind may have knocked the furniture into the screen.
