For the second time in a month, money, credit and bank cards were stolen from a wallet in a Darien YMCA locker, according to police. Unlike last time, on Nov. 21, when the theft occurred in the men’s locker room, this one happened in the women’s locker room (although the victim said two males had separately entered the women’s locker room, unannounced, earlier). This time, police were told the locker was unsecured; the last victim had said he’d locked up his property. It was only an hour and three minutes after the victim had put her wallet in an unsecured locker and a fraudulent transaction online attempting to use her money.
