In the first case, someone stole more than $2,800 worth of property including a laptop computer and digital camera between 2 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. Sunday. Then, either late Monday or early Tuesday, someone entered a different apartment and stole more than $2,000 worth of items including CDs, DVDs and a Jimi Hendrix poster. They also took the keys to a Ford Explorer that was parked outside and used them to steal the vehicle.-Contributed by [Eric Weslander.][1] [1]: www2.ljworld.com/staff/eric_weslander
