Police&Fire report FLINT WOMAN STEALS BABY FORMULA At 4:40 p.m. on Aug. 31, Fenton police responded to a retail store in the 3700 block of Owen Road for a shoplifting complaint. Lt. Jason Slater said a shopper, later identified as a 45-year-old Flint resident, entered the store, placed 89 cans of baby formula and other items worth $1,457 in her cart and exited the store without paying. Store security confronted the woman and detained her until police arrival. The woman told police she resells the baby formula for cash. She had an outstand- ing arrest warrant from Grand Blanc Township and was lodged at the Flint City Jail pending her arraignment. Fenton police are seeking a charge of felony retail fraud, a five-year felony, against the woman and will present their case to the prosecutor. DON’T GIVE OUT PERSONAL INFORMATION A Holly resident wants to remind all others not to give out any personal information to unknown callers. The woman said she was awakened at 3:40 a.m. on Aug. 31 when someone called her cell phone.

Tyler, I think what you are asking me A: is how to disable the chime for when the key is left in the ignition. If this is not it, then please write back and give me a better description of what you need help with. As a professional mechanic, I do not tamper with safety devices such as the chime modules unless they are not functioning properly. Even then it is usually something you need time, wiring diagrams and repair info to diagnose properly. These systems are made up of several components on today’s vehicles that need to properly communicate with each other and can be very difficult to diagnose even as simple of a function as they may seem.
