Neat Safe Crackers Steal 218.39 From Elyria Company
Safe crackers broke into The Schross Coat Company office on Cleveland road east of the city limits last night and escaped with 218 dollars and 39 cents in cash. They entered through a side window, removed hinges, and solved the combination after tampering. The safe from Lorain had seen seven past attempts over five years, and the recent combination change may have helped. An earlier burglary in Sandusky yielded 8.50. Authorities found no fingerprints.
