A laptop and over $200 of school supplies were stolen from a 34-year-old woman’s car on Tuesday afternoon.

The woman, an Oak Park resident, parked her 2013 Honda Civic in the 1600 block of Chicago Avenue at around 3 p.m. on Tuesday. When she returned to the vehicle at 3:30 p.m., she noticed her backpack was missing. The backpack contained a MacBook, a MacBook case and an unknown amount of textbooks. The items are valued at around $1,200.

The woman reported the theft to Evanston Police Department that afternoon, police Cmdr. Brian Henry said. Responding officers found no signs of forced entry, leading them to believe the car may have been left unlocked, he said.

EPD has no suspects at this time.
