More Top Picks Hiking Backpacks
player ready...A backpack was stolen on Nov. 2 from a 41-year-old woman who stopped driving her vehicle to assist in an accident, a report said.
The victim was driving on the 9500 block of South Peoria Street when she stopped to aid people in an accident. When she returned to her vehicle, her backpack was missing.
Among the items in the victim’s backpack were her identification and credit cards.
Money-grabber
An offender was arrested Nov. 18 after he stole $20 from a customer in a store, a report said.
The offender was loitering in a business on the 1400 block of West 95th Street. The store manager asked the offender to leave, but he refused. When a customer put a $20 bill on the counter at the register, the offender took the money and left the store.
The manager later saw the offender standing outside and contacted police. The police took him into custody after they found a pipe for smoking crack cocaine among the offender’s personal items, the report said.
Welcome home
A 27-year-old man returned from vacation Nov. 18 to find that a car had been stolen from his garage, a report said.
The man shared his home with another man, who also was out of town when the vehicle was taken. When the 27-year-old returned to the home on the 11300 block of South Lowe Avenue, he noticed that the garage door was open and the car was missing.
The door to the home also had been opened, though the victim was not able to identify other missing property, the report said. The offenders got into the garage from the home’s roof, the report said.
Stolen stereo
A 39-year-old man’s car stereo was stolen on Nov. 6, a report said. The car was parked on the 10800 block of South Central Park Avenue when the victim discovered the stereo missing. The victim’s cell phone also was taken.
Spare me
A spare tire was stolen from the car of a 42-year-old woman Nov. 11, a report said. The car was parked in the victim’s driveway on the 9200 block of South Oakley Avenue when she noticed the spare tire was missing from under the carriage.
———-
In previous RedEye crime blotters, addresses were reported by the 1000-blocks (for example, “2000 block of West Belmont” meant the crime happened between 2000 and 3000 West Belmont.) This was imprecise and sometimes misleading; we regret if it caused confusion.
Beginning today, locations will be given by the more-specific 100-block (ie. 2400 block of West Belmont.) RedEye’s policy is to protect crime victims by giving only a general location of a crime.
