The two garages are attached to each other but unattached from the houses, the victim said.
“On the one side only damage to the double entry door was the only thing to be reported and no items stolen from this side,” the report says.
Officers then spoke to the resident of the other side of the property who said items were stolen from her side of the garage.

No suspect or witness information was available.
