GPS, laptop, bull semen stolen from vehicle

A thief broke into a vehicle on East Main Street Thursday evening and stole a laptop and a GPS system, but may have more trouble figuring out what to do with a third stolen item.

According to a report from the Springfield Police Division, a man reported someone broke into his 2006 Chevy Equinox between 9 and 9;40 p.m. Among the missing items were a laptop computer, a GPS, and a large metal container of bull semen. The report showed the victim was from a farm in Iowa. The metal container held 400 straws of bull semen.
