Wilmette Police Blotter: iPod Theft, Trees Vandalized

Last week:

Theft

A black iPod valued around $300 was stolen from an unlocked locker at Sheridan Shore Yacht Club, 20 Harbor Drive on May 8. The victim told police the doors into the clubs were locked so the thieve must have had the code to be inside the premises.

Several electronic items and clothing were reported missing from a house in the 1500 block of Lake Street since last year. The resident told police the only people with access to the items was a nanny and a cleaning service; both of whom he has fired. The resident declined to give contact information on the nanny or cleaning service.
