FUNNY $50

CAR PROWL WITH EXTRA STEPS
• The sheriff’s office is looking for a person who stole a van and drove it about a quarter of a mile away, prowling it for its tools including a floor jack early yesterday morning. Deputies were called about 5:25 a.m. by a woman who heard her vehicle start up at the 100 block of Borovec Road in Chehalis and looked into her driveway to see her Chrysler Voyager van leaving, driven by a person wearing a hoody, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. Chief Deputy Stacy Brown said the van was found by deputies at a business parking lot at the 1800 block of Bishop Road where video images show some of what happened. The sheriff’s office believes the thief had his own car waiting there, and he unloaded the tools into his red car and then drove away. Brown said the car may be a 1990s Toyota Tercel, with a tinted rear window. The missing items are valued at more than $2,000, according to Brown. Among them are Craftsman tire pump and toolboxes. The stolen van was left in the parking lot.
