WINONA, Minn. – Someone forged a woman’s endorsement on a $1,700 check after stealing it, apparently from her unlocked car. She told police that the theft was a month earlier but that she was hadn’t been aware until her monthly checking account statement arrived in the mail. The theft was during an epidemic of late-night thefts from parked vehicles. Police said, however, this theft didn’t seem to fit the pattern.
