The victim tried to yank the intruder's mask off and he ended up dropping a unique hat at the scene as he ran from the bedroom. It's black with orange flames and reads "kiss my asphalt."

The victim describes the suspect as a light skinned man, white or Hispanic, approximately 5'9"-5'10" tall with a medium build. He is said to have a short, wavy ponytail that is approximately three inches long. Police add that the ponytail could have also been a part of the mask, so the suspect having short hair shouldn't be ruled out.
