Burglar steals money and belts
A burglar — perhaps one with loose pants — stole a jar of change and six men’s belts during a home break-in Monday off Ennis Road.
“It’s kind of a weird one,” said Limestone County Sheriff’s Chief Investigator Stanley McNatt.
The owner valued the missing change at $200 and the missing belts at $300.
Perhaps the thief simply recognized quality belts when he saw them.
