The incidents, which all happened in Putnam County, were detailed in an announcement on Tuesday, June 18 from the Putnam County Sheriff's Office, which said it has received numerous reports of items taken from unlocked vehicles throughout the county in the last few weeks.
According to authorities, in one incident on Saturday, June 8, a vehicle was reported stolen from a Philipstown residence on Lurch Lane.
