Update on S.A.F.E.R. Alert for Keith's Hardware.
The Hispanic male has been identified and is currently in custody in Wyandot County on an unrelated Burglary charge.

Take your keys out of the ignition, lock your car whether running into a store briefly or parked overnight at your home.

Seems obvious, but here is a recent post from the Ada Police department on their Facebook page:
