 The Pennsylvania State Police, Troop C, Ridgway are investigating a Burglary/Theft that occurred in Ridgway Township, Elk County, Pennsylvania.  On Friday, March 28, 2008, at approximately 3:55 p.m., an older gentleman was the victim of a distraction theft, where unknown suspects removed a large sum of cash from his residence. One suspect gained entry to the victim's residence by telling him that he was a county surveyor and that there was a problem with his property lines. The suspect had the victim accompany him out the back door to show him where the property stakes should be located. The suspect kept the victim busy in the backyard while at least one other suspect was inside the residence committing the theft.  A witness saw the suspects departing the residence in a newer model tan or beige colored Nissan that had tinted windows and dual exhausts on both the right and left side of the vehicle; possibly a 2004 - 2008 Nissan Maxima. The vehicle displayed a plain white cardboard registration plate with the numbers 103-095. There was no other writing on the plate. There were at least 3 individuals inside the vehicle.  The victim was only able to describe one of the suspects as a darker skinned white male, 5'5" to 5'7", approximately 160 lbs., having a light colored beard or goatee and wearing a tan coat with khaki pants.
