Officers used the phone tracking system and a license plate reader to track down the car at an undisclosed location, police said.

It’s believed the thief broke into a locked lower window at the raised ranch, but managed to go through much of the home and garage without waking the homeowners, who reported the incident around 7:45 a.m., police said.

The items taken included: a 36-inch flat screen TV, a black Wii gaming system, a Bushnell 1000 range finder, a bow with site and several arrows, two iPhone 6s, a Ralph Lauren wallet and $150 in cash, Ray Bans and the vehicle, police said.

The incident is under investigation.
