Ride shared: A Lincoln Avenue man told police a woman who’d asked him for a ride ended up stealing his car, Sunday. He said she’d asked him to pick her up at the laundromat, then convinced him to pick her nephew up, too, and take the two of them to Beatty Park. At the park he said she wanted to go for a walk with her, so they left her nephew in the car and headed out on foot. She eventually told him she needed to use the restroom and walked away. He said he stopped to tie his shoe and when she didn’t return right away, walked back to his car only to discover it and the two of them were gone. He said neither of them had permission to take his car and said he’d already told her no earlier in the day when she wanted to use it.

Distracted driver: Police said a driver who crashed into a parked car in the 400 block of South Sixth Street said he “tried to grab his tablet from beneath the seat,” Sunday. William Raymond, 47, 541 township Road 177, was cited for failure to control. Police said the impact pushed the parked car into another vehicle. The two parked cars had minor damage, they said.

Heave ho: A Maryland Avenue resident told police he thinks his neighbors and juveniles in the area are trashing his property and “keep throwing cinder blocks, rocks and trash over a fence into his back yard,” Sunday. He also said juveniles dumped a railroad tie in the alleyway.

Prolific thief: Wal-Mart employees said a woman tried to leave the store with 72 items valued at $756 that she hadn’t paid for, Sunday. They said they’d watched the woman at the self-checkout skip scanning (scanning an item and bagging others that weren’t scanned), stacking (only scanning the bottom item in a stack of merchandise) and straight bagging (intentionally bagging items that hadn’t been scanned), then put the bagged items on top of other items that weren’t scanned. They said she appeared to play with her phone for several minutes before pushing the cart back into the store and handing it off to a teenager she’d brought with her. Employees said they tried to stop the woman but she “became verbally confrontational” and refused to be stopped, leaving the store with the loaded shopping cart as well as the juvenile and a toddler she’d brought with her. As she left they said the woman “shouted out a license plate number” which ended up matching the plates on the vehicle the three of them fled in. Employees told police she woman was in their database in connection with the theft of more than $500 in merchandise from their Calcutta store.

Booked: David C. Hays, 45, and Carre E. Hays, 46, both of Hollywood Boulevard, Steubenville, misdemeanor theft, Sunday. Employees at Wal-Mart allege they watched the couple scan higher-priced items with tags for cheaper items, stack multiple items together and then scan only the bottom item and “straight bagging” other merchandise without scanning them.

Theft: A Hammondsville woman said she forgot to pick up her wallet after a purchase at the downtown Speedway and by the time she realized it someone else had already grabbed it, Saturday.

She said her wallet contained $22 in cash in addition to her ID, Cash App card and several other cards.

Disturbing the peace: A man involved in a disturbance in the 400 block of S. 5th Street told police he and his girlfriend had been arguing, Saturday. He said he lives in the residence but would leave to let the situation calm down.

Phone fight: A caller said another man grabbed his cell phone and went into an apartment in the 100 block of N. Fourth Street, Saturday. The other man showed police texts from a woman who told them the caller had stolen her mother’s phone and telling people it was his. He said he sent the woman a photo of the phone and had confirmed it was her mother’s phone. He returned the phone to the woman.

Kicked: A South Fifth Street resident said juveniles have been kicking her doors, Saturday. Police said they saw damage on the front door and footprints on the back door.
