|
Police say a Locust Avenue resident reported that a car stolen recently from their home had $10,000 in cash left inside. At about 8:48 a.m. on Aug. 27 (a Friday), the owner of a 2012 Nissan Altima told officers that they thought the car had been locked when it was parked at 2 a.m. but that the keys were inside, according to police. In addition to the cash, a wallet left inside the Nissan had a driver’s license and credit cards, and also left in the car was a secondary cellphone, Police Chief Leon Krolikowski said in a press release. Using the “Find My iPhone” app, the owner tracked the vehicle to Bridgeport, and the following day it was found in that city with three flat tires and other damage, Krolikowski said.
