Pissed me off, I couldn't bury it in the other thread.

Thief comes back for SUV
Steals girl's 'priceless' Spurs jersey

Less than 24 hours after a Transcona family's house was broken into and robbed, the culprit or culprits returned with stolen keys and swiped a sport utility vehicle from the garage.
Lynn Dubesky said she and her husband didn't realize the set of keys was among the items taken during the break-in late Monday morning.
Someone returned to the house early yesterday and made a bad situation even worse. The person or persons broke into the family's truck, and then used the keys to open the garage and steal a 2006 Buick Rendezvous.
"I'm sort of overwhelmed. You just can't believe that would happen," Dubesky said. "This has been really hard on our family."
During the break-in, someone stole her daughter's San Antonio Spurs jersey -- autographed by two-time NBA MVP Tim Duncan -- as well as a computer and digital camera.
Duncan signed the jersey for Katherina Dubesky during an in-person meeting arranged two years ago by Children's Wish Foundation. It was hanging in her closet.
She suffers from Wegener's granulomatosis, a rare, life-threatening disease that causes inflammation of the blood vessels and limits blood flow to important organs.
HOPES FOR RETURN
"My trip to San Antonio has always kind of been the highlight of my disease. That's kind of what I think of when I'm going through hard times," Katherina Dubesky said. "To that person who took it, it might just mean a few hundred dollars to them, but to me it's priceless."
She is hoping the person will return the jersey.
At about noon Monday, someone also broke into Judy Boulton's house about a block away. Boulton and Lynn Dubesky wonder if the same people are responsible for the thefts, which both occurred when no one was home.
Police spokeswoman Const. Jacqueline Chaput said at this point there is no indication the incidents are related.
At Boulton's house, thieves stole a 40-inch LCD television and surround sound system installed last week.
"We had the new TV sitting right in front of the window. You could see it from the street. I definitely won't do that again," Boulton said.
A computer, jewelry, remote controls and $20 in Canadian Tire money are also missing.
"I was of the opinion the police know there's a group of individuals out there ... who do this all the time," Boulton's partner, Tony, said. "I'm disappointed we live in a neighbourhood where, in the middle of the day, these people can kick in your door and do what they do."
