Stereo, car seat taken from car in south Evanston

About $1,750 worth of stereo equipment and other items was stolen this week from a car in south Evanston, according to police.

Police said the property was taken between 10 p.m. Monday and 8 a.m. Tuesday from a 1999 Honda in an apartment building parking lot in the 200 block of Callan Avenue.

Someone broke the rear right passenger window and stole a Pioneer car stereo, Alpine subwoofer speaker, amplifier, HTC cell phone and car seat, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said.

Laptop stolen from apartment

A laptop was taken from an apartment Tuesday night, according to police.

At about 11:25 p.m., the boyfriend of the laptop’s owner saw a man steal the laptop from a desk in his girlfriend’s office, Parrott said. Before the laptop was stolen, the boyfriend heard a clicking noise, possibly from the rear door of the apartment in the 900 block of Washington Street.

The laptop, a white MacBook, is valued at about $2,000, Parrott said.

Police described the man as 16 to 20 years old, 5 foot 6 to 5 foot 8 and 140 to 160 pounds.

Parrott said there were no signs of forced entry. Although a window was open, it remains unclear whether it was used to break into the residence.
