S4 Prowler Takes Money From Lehi Home A prowler entered the Harold M. Fox home on Third West and First South, early Saturday morn ing, taking $10 from a.hiding place on a cupboard shelf. Doors were left propped open, apparently to facilitate a speedy exit. Footprints were traced leading from the home toward the railroad track and an extensive search was made, but the intruder vanished from sight in just a few moments. Lehi Police Chief A. J. Ferko- vich received the call from the Fox home at 4:15 ajn. Stationed on Main Street at the time, he arrived at the residence within minutes, but the intruder had already made his escape. Entrance had apparently been made through an unlocked back door. Mrs. Fox had heard sounds in the kitchen and her call to her husband had apparently frightened the intruder away. Cupboards In the kitchen and some drawers in the living room had been ransack ed in what appeared to be a search for money. The $10 had been plac ed under cover in a cupboard shell, Mrs. Fox told the police. Nothing else was taken and a piece of cake on the table was untouched. Deputy Dale Peters of the County Sheriff's office assisted in the investigation. It was reported that breakins had been made in Springville and Orem which could be at tributed to the same person. Exdone th tensive scouting was roughout the hills and other points in the area, without any immedi ate results. Residentes Advised to Look Doors Chief Ferkovich stressed the ad visability of residents keepingv their doors locked at night, espec-iallin homes located near the railroad tracks. Vagrants and cri minals may reach the city through this means of transportation, was -- explained. - Although profes sional marauders are capable breaking locks and making forced entrances, they are still inclined to make the easy entrance through the door found to be unlocked, it is pointed out by police officers.
