SKULDUGGERY OF THE WEEK: RING THEM UP

A 67-year-old University Park woman is out one piece of jewelry after the person who took her $500 ring to get repaired never brought it back. The ring was handed over in the 3600 block of Bryn Mawr Drive and reported stolen sometime before 11:28 a.m. Feb. 18. Here’s hoping the ring is at least fixed.

HIGHLAND PARK

20 Wednesday

What a ride for one police officer, who observed a Ford SUV speeding west bound in the 3700 block of Euclid Avenue around 11:07 p.m. The officer then began driving in the same direction to find the speeder. Eventually, he found the SUV floating in Lakeside Creek. The driver, a 27-year-old woman, had been drinking and was complaining of lower back pain. She swam to shore while her Ford sank and was taken to Parkland Hospital as a precaution.

A woman’s 2014 black BMW was damaged between 9:38 a.m. and 5:35 p.m. while parked at Highland Park Village

What a haul for this officer patrolling the 4500 block of Arcady Avenue at 1:11 a.m.: He noticed a canvas bag sitting unattended next to a GMC Yukon. The $300 bag contained a pair of $6 Nike socks, a $15 Amazon phone charger, and $30 blue running shoes. Investigating the bag led him to notice a Ford F-150 that had indeed been rummaged through with clothes strewn on the ground including a $30 long sleeve T-shirt, $30 black Under Armour shorts, and a $15 Caddo Peak Ranch baseball cap. The investigation wasn’t over: The officer next found a black GMC Denali that had also been rummaged through. The VIN number of the Denali led the officer to the owner, who also owns a Porsche and one other vehicle. Both of those vehicles had been rummaged through, as well. Stolen from the Denali were a $500 briefcase and a $200 tote bag that contained $400 Bose head phones, a $1,000 Ipad Pro, a $3,000 MacBook Air with charger, a $1,000 Hermes journal, and check book with a $50 leather cover.
