A man stopped at a truck stop in Denton for a couple hours and when he returned to his car, several items were missing, he reported to Denton police.
The man was moving to Texas with his fiancé who was in a different car, he told police.
The man decided to stop in Denton at 9 p.m., and when he returned to his car at 11 p.m., his television was missing, but he decided it was no big deal, so he didn’t call police, according to the report.
When he was unpacking on Saturday, he noticed $4,800 in cash was missing along with some of his fiancé’s jewelry, the man reported.
There were a lot of items stacked on top of the suitcase holding these items in the car, he reported, which is why he didn’t notice them missing earlier.
