Thief took change, but left behind tools and a camera.

In the 8100 block of North Links Way, a man had between $50 and $100 in loose change stolen from a McDonald's cup he had kept in his unlocked car.

Sometime between 9:30 a.m. Dec. 12 and 10:30 a.m. Dec. 13, a Fox Point man said someone went into his vehicle, , and rummaged through his glove compartment. The man told he went out to his car the morning of Dec. 13 to find the glove compartment open, papers pulled out and strewn about the car and items from above the visor also pulled down and sifted through.

The man checked over the rest of the car to find that his tools in the back and camera in the center console were all accounted for. However, the large, plastic McDonald's cup he had filled with what he estimates to be $50 to $100 of loose change was gone.
