On Thursday, January 23rd, at about 1:52 A.M., a man was out walking with his dog in the Oakwood Knoll neighborhood in Medulla when he took something that didn’t belong to him.
In the security video, you can see the man walk down the street (from the left), walk into the victim’s yard, then helped himself to a folding chair on the front porch.
