A woman reported all of the following stolen: 15 pounds of steak, 75 pounds of ground beef, two boxes of pizza, five packs of hot dogs, four packs of smoky links, three packs of shredded cheese, two freezer boxes, a garbage can, and a set of keys.

A thief got away with freezer full of meat and three rolls of toilet paper. To top it off, the thieves vandalized her house with her own red paint and cooking oil.
