Strange thefts in Deerfield
According to the Deerfield police blotter, three thefts occurred recently involving three different people. First, a man named Frank Pirrucello is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 20 for theft and criminal trespass of a motor vehicle he was charged with and arrested at his home two Friday’s ago. According to Deerfield police, Pirrucello stole an unlocked car parked in a driveway of a residence near the Poets Corner neighborhood, and used the car owners credit card at the Amoco on Waukegan Rd. Police reviewed the videotape from the service station and were able to match it with Pirrucello. He was released on a $50,000 recognizance bond.
The second theft is one that annoys me. Lindsay Strean, an employee at the local Jamba Juice, was charged with misdemeanor theft on Sept. 19. Strean stole $600 out of the safe and claimed she needed it to pay her rent. She is set to appear in court Oct. 19.
Last but not least, don’t leave your car unlocked and out in the open. It doesn’t matter where you live in, who your neighbors are. Someone will come along, realize the car is unlocked, and proceed to steal everything you own inside it. Two Nintendo Gameboys with 12 games were stolen, a pair of Kenneth Cole sunglasses worth $200, a wallet with food gift cards and cash, a digital camera and a $100 digital assistant were all taken from an unlocked car in a driveway on Carriage Way.
