BURGLARY CLUES: PANTIES, KID’S SHIRT
• A 63-year-old Toledo area man called the sheriff’s office yesterday after discovering someone had broken into his detached garage and stolen some equipment as well as frozen meat from his freezer but left behind a pair of women’s underwear, a child-sized T-shirt and a hair dryer. Missing is an Onan generator and a Karcher pressure washer, plus other items, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.
