Thief steals the sofa, the table— and the floor
10:13 a.m. 200 block of Underwood Trail. Larceny: The thief or thieves who broke in to a Palm Coast U-Section home weren't content just to steal the furniture: They also made off with the yet-to-be-installed hardwood flooring. The home's resident, a 28-year-old woman, returned from two weeks away and discovered the burglary. Two leather couches, a kitchen table and end table, a desktop computer and $1,600 worth of boxed red maple hardwood flooring strips were gone. The woman told a deputy she'd had a roommate, a man, living with her when she left, but that he moved out while she was gone. A deputy spoke to the man, who said the woman's things had disappeared sometime before he left the home.

The deputy came inside the house and photographed ice cubes and liquid on the floor. The woman told the deputy the man had spilled the liquid himself by standing up too quickly while holding a glass of iced tea, and that she had text messages with him proving it. When the deputy asked to see the text messages, she couldn't produce them, and the deputy arrested her for domestic battery.
