A thief entered my house and tried to deprive something in the room. Although I have not checked completely what was stolen, all the closets are opened and perhaps the thief seemed to see whether we have something precious in it or not. I feel so terrible.

自然な表現

A thief entered my house and tried to steal something in the room. Although I have not completely checked what was stolen, all the closets are opened and perhaps the thief seemed to have seen whether we have something precious in it or not. I feel so terrible.  

1. This verb is more suitable to mean 'to take something without permission'.
2. I changed the placement of this word to make this more natural.
3. Use this verb in the present perfect tense.
I am so sorry to hear about your misfortune. The number of thieves is increasing these days everywhere in the country. What time exactly did this happen?

I left my home at eight o'clock today and has just returned a few mittens before. The thief must have entered my house while I left my home.

自然な表現

I left my home at eight o'clock today and have just returned a few minutes ago. The thief must have entered my house while I left my home.  

1. I changed the form of the auxiliary verb to complete the present perfect tense.
2. I corrected the spelling mistake.
3. Use this adverb to mean 'back in time from the present'.
It must be someone who stays close to you then. This person must have been observing all your movements. Do you have any suspects? What is your reason for your suspicions?

No, I don't have any suspects around me. Maybe the thief might see that my car was not parked during my going out. Or a neighbor whom I sometimes see and greet each others at garbage dump might know when I go out and come to my home.

自然な表現

No, I don't have any suspects around me. Maybe the thief might have seen that my car was not parked outside while I was out. Perhaps a neighbor whom I sometimes see and greet         at the garbage dump might know when I go out and return to my home.   

1. I rephrased this to make it easier to understand.
2. I removed the redundant words.
3. Use this definite article to refer to something specific.
4. This verb is more suitable to mean 'come back to a previous place'.
That is very useful information for us. We might need to go and ask the man a few questions just in case he saw something strange at your house. What security measures do you have in your house?

Whenever going out, I always lock all the windows and doors. I contract with a security guards service company, they didn't come to my home in this case. I don't know the reason why they didn't come, but they might have some information or record during my absence.

Whenever I go out, I always lock all the windows and doors. I contract with a security guard service company, they didn't come to my home in this case. I don't know the reason why they didn't come, but they might have some information or record during my absence.  

1. Use the verb in the present tense.
2. I made this noun singular to fix the agreement error.
The security company is also to be questioned about its inefficiency. We would like to go and take fingerprints on the doors, windows, and furniture in your house as it will help us carry out proper investigations on this case. Do you remember touching anything where you might have left fingerprints when you realized the burglary in your house?

No, sorry. I don't remember all the things which I touched after I came to my home. As far as I remember, doors, a washing stand, a refrigerator are the things that I touched since I came back. Perhaps there are other things as well, I don't remember correctly. I don't mind your checking fingerprints in my house.

1. I removed these words since you don't need to use them.
2. I added this conjunction to join the items in the list.
3. Use this preposition to show an exact position or place.
