Wallet stolen from Lawrence man reports police
A 50-year-old Lawrence resident reported Thursday afternoon that his wallet was stolen from his west Lawrence home. The wallet contained $1,500, per a police report. The Journal-World notes it does not print all police reports and generally limits coverage to burglaries with at least $1,000 loss or more, avoids naming victims, and delays naming arrestees until charges.
