What is it they say: if it isn't tied down, they will steal it... The Wilkes Sheriff's Office was called to a Moravian Falls residence this week regarding a theft from their home. There was no break-in and nothing inside the house was reported stolen. However, someone did steal a hand-crank corn-sheller from the carport of the victim. The antique piece was valued at 250 dollars. There is no word on suspects.
