Two residents reported seeing someone take the money, and one man drove after the thief. A resident of Bryn Mawr Avenue told police that around noon on Wednesday, Dec. 19 she saw a dark-colored car pull into her driveway, and someone in it take the envelope that contained $20.

A resident of Mill Road in Villanova attempted to chase down the person he saw take his money on Tuesday, Dec. 18. According to a police report, at about 9:15 a.m. the homeowner saw a person take the envelope and leave in what is described as a brand-new silver/gray metallic Ford Explorer. The homeowner got into his car and followed the Explorer, but was apparently not able to get close enough to get a tag number.
