The big milk heist of Jan. 4 might not go down in the Geneva history books as the crime of the century, but it's definitely right up there with the most interesting so far of 2013.

Last of the ho-ho-holiday mischief? Here's what we hope is the final installment of the season's Christmastime crime.
Each year, while Santa's elves are making toys for good little girls and boys, elves of a different sort take time to make the season a little less bright. Here is what we hope is the last of the 2012 holiday season's Christmastime crime, from the files of the Geneva Police Department: Theft Under $300—Someone stole a 12-foot inflatable snowman as it sat in the front yard of a home in the 700 block of Meadow Lane sometime between 10 p.m. Dec. 20 and 6 a.m. Dec. 21, reports said. The decoration was valued at $200. Fresh footprints in the snow led up to and away from where the snowman sat, reports said. Click the "Keep Me Posted" button below this text.
