When it comes to crime in Geneva, the "usual suspects" are mailbox damage and vehicle burglary. Here are two items of "miscellaneous mischief" from last week's police blotter.

Burglary—Someone took $40 in cash sometime between 2:15 and 2:30 p.m. Sept. 28 from a Toyota Highlander parked in the 500 block of West State Street. The burglar entered the car through an unlocked door and took $40 from a backpack, reports said.

Criminal Damage to Property—Someone broke the 2-by-4 post of a mailbox in the 200 block of Abbey Lane sometime between 9:30 p.m. and 11:45 p.m. Sept. 23, reports said. The officer said the mailbox was “bent over and the 2-by-4 post was broken in half.” The estimated value of the mailbox is $250.
