Just one table saw was not enough for a thief this weekend.
Denton officers were dispatched to a hardware store in the 1200 block of South Loop 288 in reference to a theft report.
The caller told police that a customer had paid cash for a table saw and left the store with it. The customer then returned to the store, picked up a second table saw, and left the store using the receipt from the first one as proof of payment, according to the caller.
Police are investigating the incident.
