TV, car, jewelry included in a theft at a couple ‘s 5th Street residence

A Bloomington couple discovered thousands of dollars worth of personal property had been stolen from their home on East Fifth Street after returning from a 10-day trip on Nov. 15.

The woman’s Honda Civic that was parked in front of the home was taken, along with a 42-inch flat screen TV.

Other stolen items included rings, earrings, necklaces, watches and a “small pouch containing lotions and various personal items,” Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Jeff Canada said.

The residents believed someone broke into their home by forcing open a door on the south side of the house.

The car reported stolen was a dark green 2001 Honda Civic, with an Illinois plate.
