Theft suspect may be homeless

COEUR d'ALENE - Police believe a homeless person may have been behind a smash and grab at a Sherman Avenue business Sunday.

According to a police report, someone used a large rock to break a window at Two Dog Leather, 1113 E. Sherman Ave.

Once inside, they took two pair of size 10 cowboy boots, and two jackets, with a total value of $1,630.

It did not appear any drawers or shelves were searched, police said.

"Due to cold weather, the increase in transients in the area, and the selective in the items that were stolen, I suspected a transient may have been the burglar," the report said.
