Denton police want to talk to a man shown on surveillance video apparently breaking into a car outside a hospital emergency room.

A woman reported Monday that she was visiting the hospital in the 3500 block of South Interstate 35E with a friend. They left the hospital at about 7:40 p.m. and drove to a convenience store where she planned to buy gasoline. But she discovered that her wallet, which she had left tucked between the seats of her car while she was inside the hospital, was missing.

The women returned to the hospital parking lot. They found the woman’s wallet, but it was empty. A number of credit, debit and gift cards had been stolen.

When hospital security officers checked parking lot surveillance video, they saw a man inside the woman’s car. The woman realized she had spoken briefly to the man while she was in the hospital lobby.

Hospital personnel said the suspect had been with a woman being treated in the emergency room.

That woman identified the man as her boyfriend. She said he had left briefly and then returned, telling her that he didn’t like hospitals and was leaving. He said he would send his mother to sit with her, according to the police report.
