“Dear PoPville,
We live in Shaw and had a rug delivered to our house. We were home and went to get the door to bring it in. Within 2 minutes it was stolen. We reported the theft but weren’t expecting it to be recovered. Within 30 minutes an MPD officer arrived at our house and recovered the stolen rug. Thank you to Officer Morgan for all of his help!”
