Loony Larceny Logs Odd Home Thefts Across States
Police blotters recount strange thefts from Ohio homes vanishing and reappearing, to California cash for a down payment that never existed.

A Rio de Janeiro suspect feigns medicine, and a Chicago man professes hobbyist violence as he hoards weapons and knife drills.
