The thief entered the property between 2pm and 4pm.
In the kitchen, the thief stole a purse containing a bank card and a small amount of cash from a handbag left on the worktop.
A police spokesman warned residents to guard against sneak-in thieves.
The spokesman said: "Most burglaries are committed by opportunist criminals who happen to see unsecured premises where they can help themselves to the property inside.
"In most cases, the burglary could have been prevented."
Anyone with information should call Humberside Police on the non-emergency number 101.

“Thieves are getting too cocky for their own good these days. It's a well-known fact that burglars enter the back way so as not to be seen. However, these little scroats are using the front door as if they dont care, but why should they when the law just gives them a slap across the wrist and they're told not to do it again? Ring any bells Judge Mettyear and your ilk?”

“The thieves are getting too cocky for their own good. It's a well-known fact that most burglars enter through the back way so as not to be seen. However, they seem as though they don't care these days, and the law is so soft on them they'll probably get a slap across the hand and told not to do it again, ring any bells Judge Mettyear and your ilk?”
