Even though lights go on, the hoodied intruder -- whose face and hands were covered -- tries opening a window, then cases the exterior of the house for a way to get in.

The sneaker- and sweatpants-wearing burglar then hears the chirp of a police siren and flees into nearby woods.

The East Hill homeowner posted Ring videos of the incident, which occurred between 10:30 and 11 p.m. Thursday.
