Jacinta Warhurst's haul also included a 50-inch television, toilet paper and $100 in cash.
The break-in happened on August 10, with police receiving confirmation in January, 2019, that four fingerprints found at the scene belonged to Warhurst.

DNA was also retrieved, from a knife placed in a knife block on the kitchen bench.
Warhurst was later convicted of the crime when she failed to appear in Albury Local Court on October 10, 2019.
That has been remedied with her arrest by Albury police, resulting in her appearance before magistrate Tony Murray via a video link to the station cells on a charge of break and enter house and steal.
The court was told that Warhurst, now 36, was in a relationship with the victim for seven years.
This ended in August, 2014, and he moved out of the marital home.
The man left his Kalimna Crescent, Lavington, unit for work on the day of the break-in about 4.30am, locking the door behind him.
He was contacted by a neighbour about midday to be told his house had been burgled.
When the victim returned home he found the front security door was open and bent.
He immediately saw his TV was missing, along with the cans of bourbon whisky and cola and a dozen cans of cola.
Police attended that afternoon, finding the fingerprints on glass louvres removed from the laundry window.
Warhurst will be sentenced on January 25.
