This is not at all an unusual type of theft. These are professional thieves who sell historic house parts to dealers and on the Internet. They make quite a lot of money this way. Thanks for alerting the neighborhood, we need to be vigilant in case they decide to work over this area! It could be that they are targeting properties listed for sale, since they can look at pictures of the buildings on line to see whether there's anything worth stealing.

Sometime between Monday 8 PM and Tuesday 8 AM, his house wasburglarized. The unusual thing about the burglary was the items that weretaken. The leaded glass from his entryway, the fireplace in the Living Room and9 bronze wall sconces were the items that were stolen. He lives at 1006 N. Negley and just recently put his house on the market.If anyone saw anything in that area or has information, please let me know. Iam also curious to know if any other homeowners have experienced burglariessimilar to the unusual nature of this one. Thank you.
