Butter tub half empty, or half full?
6:35 p.m. — First block of Wheatfield Drive. Burglary.
A woman said someone broke into the home and stole a VCR, her pain medication and a butter tub half-full with about $20 in change.
She realized something was wrong, she told the deputy, when she got home Monday evening and saw that both bedroom doors were open. She always keeps them closed. On Tuesday, she went to her dresser to get her medication and realized it wasn’t there. A VCR she kept on a closet shelf was also gone. The man at the home realized that the tub of change he kept in his bedroom was missing, too, and a screen for one of the windows had been removed and was lying in the grass next to the house.
The deputy spoke with neighbors, and one of them said he’d noticed that his back window screen had been broken out as well. A woman had noticed someone running into the wood line Monday night, but did not report it.
Unlocked car, unaccounted for wallet
12:41 p.m. — First Block of Seward Trail West. Larceny.
A deputy drove out to a home on Seward Trail on Thursday after a woman called and said someone stole her wallet from her unlocked Chrysler Sebring sometime between 9 p.m. Wednesday and 11 a.m. Thursday.
The woman said the $10 suede wallet held $45 in cash, some medical insurance cards and her driver's license. Deputies fingerprinted the car and got several clear prints; they swabbed the car door handle for DNA. The tests haven’t been finished yet. The woman said she had not noticed anyone suspicious looking in the area when the theft occurred.

Mulch ado about nothing
11:36 a.m. — Belle Terre Parkway and Parkview Drive South.
A woman said she was driving her white BMW south on Belle Terre Parkway when the vehicle had some kind of malfunction and swerved to the left, plowing through some bushes, grass and mulch. The deputy photographed the damage, but it was minor. The car was not drivable because of the malfunction, so it was towed away at the owner’s request. No charges are pending because the deputy determined the damage was unintentional.
I was the lone rock thrower
10 a.m. — 100 block of Beauford Lane.
A man was driving along Becket Lane when a rock smacked into his truck. When he headed home that evening, another rock smashed into his truck. He stopped and saw a shorthaired, middle-age woman standing in front of one of the homes. He asked her about the rocks flying at his truck. She said she’d thrown them.
The man drove off without getting out of the truck, he told deputies, because he didn’t want the situation to escalate. When he got home, he saw a ding on the side of the truck. A deputy was called out to the home and photographed the dent; he then drove to the address where the man had seen the rock-wielding woman.
But there was no answer when he knocked on the door, no vehicles in the driveway, and the blinds were shut. The deputy left a case card in the doorjamb with instructions to call the Sheriff’s Office.
