Car break-in over the weekend

Wallyhood reader Jack dropped us a quick note about a car break-in that happened on Sunday night: The window of our car was busted out late last night, and an emergency kit was stolen.

Retriever statue stolen

Sharon wrote to tell us that someone swiped something unique and sentimental from her porch on Thursday morning: Sometime during the morning of April 19th, a statue of a retriever-type dog was taken from the front porch of my residence in Wallingford.  The statue was about 14 inches tall, off white, fabricated from a clay like material, and worth probably about $100.  It was received as a gift.  The dog originally held a stick in it's mouth with a welcome sign suspended…
