| Police Blotter 9/1 |
Stolen Laptop
A woman called police on Aug. 11 at 11:54 a.m. to report her laptop had been stolen from her home located on Humes Place West. She said the laptop had been in the study area of her house when she left on Aug 10 at about 12:30 p.m. She returned that evening at about 7:30 p.m. and when she sat down to do her homework later that night, she found that her laptop along with its lime green soft case was missing. The power cord was still there.
The victim told police she could not find any signs of forced entry to the home. But she found that her spare house key was missing from a bookcase shelf. She said that she was having the house locks changed that day. Nothing else was noted as missing or disturbed at the time of the call.
