A homeowner in North Beach (2300 block of NW 99th Street) got an unwelcome surprise when he opened his safe this week. He called police after finding that someone had stolen $5,000 and a pistol from the safe. The last time he’d thoroughly checked out the safe was back in January. The key was kept on top of the safe for easy access, and the resident also admitted that he frequently leaves the door open. The homeowner told police that several cars have also been broken into in the neighborhood lately.
