On an early morning in Southside Estates, a Jacksonville man found his truck pilfered by an unexpected visitor, according to the local Sheriff's Office—a white woman with long brown hair. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office's social media post painted a clear picture of the incident, complete with surveillance footage showing the woman, clad in a yellow shirt and blue jeans, casually invading the space of the man's vehicle.

According to the footage, the suspect rummaged through the truck for approximately 10 minutes before taking off with the owner's sunglasses and prescription pills, which he had left inside the unlocked vehicle, she left behind her own pair of sunglasses – an ironic twist in the midst of her unfortunate shopping spree. 

Jacksonville Sheriff's Office expressed a twofold desire: first, to identify the woman responsible for the theft, and second, to reunite her with her forgotten sunglasses—though coupled with the "silver bracelets" of handcuffs. They took to social media to reach out to the community, showcasing their firm stance on vehicle security with the message, "Lock it or lose it!" 

Jacksonville residents are reminded to always lock their vehicles and protect their belongings after a recent theft incident. The Sheriff's Office is asking for help identifying the suspect, humorously noting her mismatched sunglasses. Anyone with information can call 904-630-0500 or leave an anonymous tip with First Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS. A reward is available for tips that lead to her identification.
