Theft

Once upon a time, if you put a blanket or jacket over a purse, you'd think a criminal wouldn't risk breaking your window. That's not the case anymore.

If you're stealing a stick shift, you should probably know how to drive it. A 23-year-old burglar not only picked the wrong car, but also was tracked by GPS.

A recent study says these 5 secret hiding places are actually some of the top places burglars look first when robbing homes in Illinois.

There are some new Walmart facts to consider in 2024 and more than a heaping helping of speculation. I have some of both as many are wondering out loud if Walmart would dare to close any Missouri stores in 2024? The answer is a great big maybe.

Stores all around the country are dealing with a rise in retail theft, many stores are resorting to locking up the most stolen items, here are the top things being stolen from Walmart stores in Wisconsin.

I would say that this is a good reminder to lock your car doors in Missouri and Illinois, but I'm not sure that would matter much as a new report says incidents in both states are exploding and especially in Illinois.
