Did you hear Duke, the sheriff's department's helicopter, above the Alicia/Trabuco area from 2-3 p.m. Monday?

Someone tried to steal a wallet around 1:30 p.m., Lt. Gary Strachan with the Orange County Sheriff's Department said.

The wallet was recovered, but the thief was not, he said. No one was arrested. There were no injuries and no property was lost, Strachan said. By 3:10 p.m., the helicopter could no longer be heard overhead in Mission Viejo.
