Burglary — Structure: A man reported that, while he was out of town, his Realtor informed him that the air conditioning unit at his property was stolen. When he returned, he informed authorities about the missing property. The air conditioner had been removed from a concrete pad, and the connections had been cut.

Petit Theft — All Other: A man at a gas station attempted to pay for two sports drinks with a counterfeit $50 bill. When an employee confronted him about the currency, the man left with the drinks. The employee provided the tag of the vehicle to police, who contacted the owner of the car. The owner told officers that her niece drives the car, and that she was unaware of any man who might be driving it. The owner of the car assured officers that she would contact her niece about the incident.
DISC MEN
8:18 p.m. — 500 block of North Beneva Road
Petit Theft — Shoplifting: An employee at a department store observed a man taking approximately five CDs without paying for them. A second man, whom the employee believed was serving as a lookout, was also with the shoplifter. When the employee saw that the men were going to leave the store, he left his office in an attempt to catch up with the subjects, but they were able to exit the store without paying for the CDs and left the area.
CHECKING OUT
Noon — 900 block of University Parkway
Civil Problem: A hotel manager reported that, two months earlier, a man attempted to rent two hotel rooms for three nights. At the time the man checked in, his credit card was rejected. He was allowed to stay for three nights after promising to eventually pay for his stay. The hotel manager later discovered that the business never actually received the money for his time at the hotel. Officers informed the manager that, because the man was allowed to stay at the hotel on his promise, the two parties entered into an agreement that made the issue a civil problem.
