WINONA, Minn. – Police have mounted overnight bicycle and foot patrols to catch a thief — or thieves — who have made a ritual of rummaging through unlocked parked cars and stealing things. The thefts have been mostly downtown and on the adjacent East Side and West Side. Deputy Police Chief Jay Rasmussen encouraged citizens to leave outside lights on. Also, he said, doorball cameras could help. Most important, he said: “Lock your car.” Among recent hauls:
> A camera and $20 change.
> A $119 jump starter.
> $200 from a front seat console.
> A baseball bag, sunglasses and loose change.
