(La Porte County, IN) - La Porte County Police are trying to figure out who forced their way through a sheet of plywood to steal some loose change.

At about 10 a.m. yesterday, officers responded to the Shady Oak Trailer Park on U.S. 12 near the Michigan state line.

A man living there told police he returned home to find a nailed sheet of plywood was forced off the inside of the back door frame.

Soon, he discovered a couple of jars filled mostly with quarters missing from his bedroom.

Authorities say the victim estimated his loss at about $80 and believes a drug-addicted homeless person whom he knows committed the burglary.
