A Hudson Road resident alerted police in Bangor on Saturday after discovering that several tools and the toolboxes that held them were missing from the barn behind his home.

The man showed police a broken lock and two broken stained glass windows, but police were not able to gather any concrete evidence. The homeowner also was not able to provide specific information on exactly what was taken, according to police.

The man’s home was added to a rapidly growing list of residences and job sites within the city that have reported missing tools, police said.
