The Ledger in the Vent: How a Dry Notebook Exposed $28,000 Theft

Fear that someone you trusted stole from your neighbors: a dry, wire-bound ledger tucked into a crawl-space vent after two days of hard July rain led to the unravelling of six years of systematic theft and a missing escrow balance of roughly $28,000. Who placed the notebook there, and how did one man keep an escrow account nearly empty while residents paid rent for years?

In this episode, we present the sequence of events that followed the discovery of that notebook and outline the records and actions that exposed the gap between required and actual escrow balances. Listen to how a single photograph, one complaint to the Division of Housing Standards, and bank records combined to answer the question: how did no one notice?

Person: Robert Davis
Location: Pinewood Terrace, Grover Township, Lacey County
Event: Discovery of a dry wire-bound ledger in a crawl-space vent on July 21, 2011
Amount: Escrow required roughly $28,000; account often held approximately $3,000
Case: Systematic theft affecting 81 occupied lots over six years

- The ledger was found dry inside Lot 14’s crawl-space vent after two days of July rain, spine facing outward and vent cover leaned against the siding.
- Troy Moore had walked the Pinewood Terrace route 43 times and photographed the notebook before touching it on July 21, 2011.
- Pinewood Terrace had 81 occupied lots by 2011 on 42 acres, with lot rents between $310 and $360 per month.
- Robert Davis was the sole signatory on escrow account 4417 at Lacey Savings and Loan and was hired in 2005 at a salary of $44,000 plus a manager unit.
- In 2006 Davis registered R.L. Davis Consulting, LLC, filed for $300, and opened a separate checking account at Millhaven Community Bank with no documented revenue.
