Expensive work site theft has a happy ending
Call it the Case of the Thief
with a Conscience.
On Monday, a surveyor re-
ported to police that a glob-
al-positioning satellite head
unit valued at more than
$40,000 had been stolen
from a work site just south of
Warrenton High School be-
tween 4 and 4:50 p.m.
Police issued bulletins
about the stolen equipment,
including a post on Facebook.
By Wednesday morning,
the unit and its case had been
returned to the location from
where it had been stolen.
A note was attached: “Sor-
ry, I thought this was out for
grabs. I’m sorry.”
