Phone Theft, Graffiti: La Grange Cops

LA GRANGE, IL – La Grange police released their latest blotter Friday. Here is information from the reports:

Phone theft

• An employee at the La Grange hospital, 5101 Willow Springs Road, told police Tuesday that someone stole her phone from her cleaning cart. She said the phone and its case were valued at $1,000. The employee said she was cleaning several rooms when she was advised through her Bluetooth headphones that her phone was disconnected. She asked her husband to use the "Find My iPhone" app, but could not find it, apparently because it was turned off.
