Stolen Golf Clubs Not Stolen For Long in Fairfax: Police

FAIRFAX, VA — Two lessons can be gleaned from an incident reported Tuesday morning in the 3500 block of Country Hill Drive to Fairfax Police.

First, if you're storing a presumably valuable set of golf trunks in your trunk, you might want to make sure the vehicle is locked.

Second, if you steal a set of golf clubs from a trunk in the middle of the night, you probably will reconsider after realizing those things are heavy and make a lot of noise.

Anyway, around 8:30 a.m., a resident reported that sometime after 10 p.m., someone had rummaged through his vehicle and taken his bag of clubs. They later were recovered in the front yard of a nearby residence.
