Among recent reports generated by local law enforcement agencies:

1. Theft of services at 1003 Museum Road and 908 East Oak Street. A man described as tall, thin and well-dressed asked to exchange five $20 bills for one $100 bill. Workers at the two locations agreed to the exchange and both times the man apparently used slight of hand to swap the $100 bill for a $10, and claimed the workers made a mistake. The workers believed they had mistakenly handed the man a $10 bill and exchanged the $10 bill for a $100. Both cash registers were found to be $90 short.

2. Residential burglary at 400 block of Mildred Street. Someone stole three laptop computers, a game console and two DVD players.

3. Residential burglary at 2100 block of Hutto Street. A man knocked on a residence's door and asked for someone named Cody. No Cody lived there. The resident then saw the man steal a gas can from his garage. The resident confronted the man, and also noticed a chainsaw in the man's vehicle, which the resident thought was his. The man gave the resident the chainsaw, saying "it ain't mine but it ain't yours either" and fled before the resident could call 9-1-1. The chainsaw, which did not belong to the resident, was taken to CPD.

4. Residential Burglary at 1400 block of Clifton Street. A resident hid in a closet and called 9-1-1 after seeing a man climb through the front window. A wallet was stolen.
