The home of Marin and Jeanette Hansen of rural Eagle Bend in Wykeham Township was burglarized sometime during the early afternoon of January 1. The home was entered and several items were stolen including two video cassette recorders, two boom boxes, two Craftsman mitre saws, a cellular telephone, a color television, an air compressor, an air nailer, and approximately 45 CDs. According to Jeanette, the family had gone out for dinner and were returning home when they were met on the road by a small tan car that was traveling down the middle of the road. When they returned home, they noticed several items missing from their home and drove into Eagle Bend to see if they could find the car which had passed them on the road.
