About 15-hundred dollars worth of tools have turned up missing from a rural North Wilkesboro man's storage building. Marty Brown called sheriff deputies about the theft Saturday morning, according to a report released today. The thief had broken in the back window of Brown's building sometime in the past two weeks. The missing items include a Stihl chain saw, a DeWalt compound miter saw, a DeWalt power saw, a Stanley finish nailer, a Makita corded drill, two other drills, and a Black and Decker reciprocating saw. He believes a couple of teen-aged neighbors, who face theft charges in unrelated cases, are to blame for this theft. Deputies have not finished questioning everyone involved in the case, and have not made any arrests.
