A Tennessee man getting a ride from a Boiling Springs woman was left without a wallet and cell phone when he was ditched at an I-85 rest area in Cherokee County, according to a report at the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office.

The man's losses were estimated at about $180. The man could only provide police with the woman's first name and an approximate age. She was driving a white Subaru, according to the police report.

House damaged

A home and shed on Providence Road sustained more than $2,000 in damage when a burglar or burglars broke into them to steal copper, according to Gaffney police.

The homeowner first noticed the break-in of the shed and found the rear door of the home had been kicked open. After police were called and the home's interior had been cleared, police said it was discovered that the burglar or burglars had removed portions of an interior wall to access copper pipe and wire and removed the ceiling in the home's basement to get out more copper. At least $900 in copper was stolen and the home and shed sustained more than $1,300 in damage, according to the police.
