Crime Corner: Stolen TV, Hit-and-Run, and a Gas Drive Off

Fox Point police were called to a home in the 200 block of East Green Tree Road on Wednesday for a burglary.

A Fox Point woman had returned home from work to find that the side door to her home was ajar, not as she had left it. She went in through the front door to find that their 32-inch LCD TV had been stolen.

When police arrived, they noticed that a VCR was laying on the floor in front of the TV stand. They also noticed pry marks in the door frame on the way in.

A total of eight items were catalogued as missing including: 32-inch Panasonic LCD TV, valued at $500; DVD player, value unknown; an 80-gigabyte iPod classic, valued at $250; a Panasonic Toughbook, valued at $1,000; an ASUS EEE PC Laptop, valued at $400 ; a MacBook Pro, value unknown; a Cannon G9 camera, valued at $500; and a Toro snowblower, valued at $350.

There was a five-hour window where no one was home between 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Police checked Craigslist for items, but didn't find anything.

Also from the Fox Point and Bayside police departments:

• A 29-year-old Milwaukee woman came into the Bayside Police Department to pay fines on Tuesday, and officers discovered she was wanted by the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Department. She paid the warrant in full and was released.

• On Wednesday, an 83-year-old Bayside man was cited for a hit-and-run accident at the Sendik's on Brown Deer Road and North Port Washington Road. He had backed up into another vehicle and left, not realizing that he had hit anyone.

• There was another gas drive off this week at the Open Pantry. On Thursday, someone drove off with $58.32 of gas.
