The victim told deputies the items were stolen between Aug. 3 and Aug. 17, the day she reported the theft.

The victim told deputies she suspected someone in the theft. As of Aug. 21, however, the stolen items had not been recovered, and there were no arrests, said Capt. Ron Arnhart of the Sheriff’s Office.
