Preston Hollow Crime Reports July 12 – 18

SKULDUGGERY OF THE WEEK: BLASPHEMY!

The Bible’s Book of Romans assures us that “that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God.” But that didn’t preclude a petty thief from snatching away a sign of divine favor before 8:52 p.m. July 17. Perhaps the crook who took the “God Loves (Heart) You” sign from a 65-year-old woman’s home in the 6300 block of Walnut Hill Lane needed the message more.
