Paintings worth $4,000 missing from late Macon woman’s estate
Bibb County sheriff’s deputies earlier this year were called to the home of a north Macon woman who died in 2013. The house had been tied up in estate issues ever since and a relative had been keeping an eye on the North Wesleyan Circle residence. When the relative checked on the place a couple of months ago, the relative noticed that someone had apparently broken in. A window was busted and a door was unlocked, a sheriff’s report said, adding that a stove was missing “along with three acrylic oil paintings worth about $4,000.” The report didn’t describe paintings.
Dispatches: On March 10, a man walked into a Family Dollar store on Pio Nono Avenue in Macon and reportedly left without paying for 18 bottles of Dial hand soap. . . . On March 7, a Pizza Hut delivery driver dropped off a pizza at Green Meadows Apartments on Log Cabin Drive. When she returned to her car, it was gone. The car turned up later on nearby Hollingsworth Road. . . . In mid-February, a man at an apartment on Sheraton Drive in Macon reported the theft of three gold necklaces and a small jar of change. A sheriff’s report described the missing money as being in “a small jar with (an) unknown amount of coins inside.” The necklaces, however, were said to be worth a total of $4,000. The man told the cops that he left the necklaces hanging on the headboard of his bed one morning before heading to work. “Two of the necklaces have pendants with an image of ‘The Last Supper’ engraved,” the report said. “The third necklace has a pendant shaped and engraved to resemble Jesus.”
