A man told Denton police Wednesday that he believes his son is a burglar, after finding property that did not belong to his son hidden in his room.

The man’s son was not at home when an officer arrived at about 2 p.m., according to a police report. The father handed the officer a plastic bag. Nothing inside the bag belonged to his son, he said.

The bag contained two radar detectors, a digital camera, a cellphone charger and a tin of smokeless tobacco. Also inside was an empty prescription bottle for a medication commonly abused by narcotics users.

The father said he found the items hidden in a shoe box in a closet, in dresser drawers and in other hiding places.

The label had been partially torn off the prescription bottle, but the address remained. The officer visited the address. A woman there said she takes that prescription but recently her bottle of medication disappeared. She said she often carried it in her car so it would be available when she needed it. She believes someone took it from her unlocked car, the report stated.
