Thieves Snatch Books, Hair Clippers, and Cuff Links
And I thought the theft of third row seats and side mirrors was odd. This week’s police blotter revealed a number of unusual items are appealing to criminal minds.
1. Stroller
2. Bathroom light fixture
3. Hardback books
4. Cuff links
5. Hair clippers
Can you guess which items fetched the highest and lowest value assessed by their owners? The answer and deets on each crime are after the jump. As always, for the skinny on the week’s lawbreaking, pick up a copy of Preston Hollow People.
Highest value: Tie between numbers 1 and 5, $300
Lowest value: Number 2, $30
