During the investigation, officers canvassed the neighborhood and heard from a neighbor who told them that a homeless man had been in the area. The neighbor, trying to be a good citizen and help someone in need, gave the man and item to help, Hanus said. Police found that particular item in the residence where the key fob was stolen.
Additionally, the neighbor told police that the man had dropped his ID in the neighbor's yard, Hanus said. The ID was turned over to police.
As officers were exiting the area, they saw a 2011 Buick four-door car with its hood up parked in the lot at Hillside Liquor, 1200 E. Crawford Street, Hanus said. Asleep inside was Anthony M. Langhorst, 32, of Salina, whose ID had been found in the neighbor's yard near the scene of the theft, Hanus said.
