After closing his store on Leary Way the previous night, the complainant arrived the next morning to find the shop's glass door shattered.

The only things missing from the store were a few cans of Coke and Diet Coke from the refrigerator case in the front of the store.

In what could possibly have been a misguided attempt at paying for the soda, the thirsty caffeine junkies took a $2 bill from the side of a refrigerator in the back of the store and left it by the register, which was untouched.

A spokesperson for a church in the Phinney-Greenwood neighborhood reported a number of incidents that have taken place since June 17 that she believes are related.

Between June 17 and June 24, three liquid-fueled candles were stolen from the sanctuary of the church. In addition, two doorknob locks were punched with a pry tool to gain access to the "cry room" from the sanctuary.

Between June 20 and June 27, the cover was ripped off the toilet paper dispenser in the women's restroom. The cover was found in the alley.

Between July 4 and July 11, a guitar was stolen from the choir room.

On June 20, the door handle plate and lock on the basement fire door were bent and broken. The spokesperson said the door is always left unlocked so damaging the handle and lock makes no sense.

Here is a Bible verse found through a random Google search that may apply: "Do not envy a sinner; you don't know what disaster awaits him."

After returning home from a 13 day absence, "Vince" noticed several things, including a coin collection, missing from his residence but no sign of forced entry.

In late June, Vince was working in his yard and had left his garage door remote on the patio table. It went missing while he was working. After noticing the stolen items, Vince located the remote in a kitchen drawer.

Vince believes someone took the remote, used it to gain entry to the house while he was gone and left it in the drawer when they were finished.
