A disabled Wichita Falls man says he is outraged, claiming a burglar stole gifts a local business provided him for Christmas.
Roy Pierce says Monday morning he found a broken door handle on his SUV and several hundred dollars worth of tools stolen from the back.
Pierce says a health issue several months ago forced him to stop working so a local company provided his family with gifts this past Christmas.
Although his gift was kept in his vehicle, he says they were covered and the doors were locked while it was parked at the Fountaingate Apartments.
"And... I want people out here and everywhere else to know what's going on so they can be aware or their stuff. If a criminal wants something they're gonna get it regardless if your car is locked or not," says Pierce.
Wichita Falls police say two car burglaries have been reported at Fountaingate over the past two weeks.
