More than $4,000 worth of possessions were stolen from an Evanston residence Tuesday afternoon.

A 54-year-old neighbor saw two men park a gray Toyota Corolla in the driveway of the house in the 900 block of Grey Avenue and walk around the house with a prying tool on Nov. 17 at about 12:45 p.m., said Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan. The neighbor told police that the men pulled the air conditioning unit off the window, and police discovered fresh pry marks on the back door, Dugan said.

When the resident, a 50-year-old man, returned home at about 4 p.m., he told police his Apple iPad, iPod, Playstation 3, and a jewelry box containing at least $3,500 worth of jewelry was stolen. These possessions are estimated to be worth more than $4,100.
