Tenants fear money loss after drop box break-in; Sheriff’s Office investigating">

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI)– The reported break-in of a rent drop box has tenants worried they might have to repay December’s rent. Rooftop Rental tenants say they may be forced to repay money that went missing, prompting frustration as deputies launch an investigation.

The Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office says the incident was reported on December 9.

“I hope everyone who put the money in the box over the weekend will get it figured out, and all we can do is pray that they waive our rent for this month, otherwise we all have to come up with over 1200 dollars again when most of us barely scrape by…” said a disgruntled tenant on Facebook.

According to the tenant, who chose to remain anonymous, Rooftop Rentals will waive any late fees, but not waive the lost payments for tenants who paid in cash. Local News 8 has reached out to Rooftop Rentals but has not yet received a response.

The Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office is continuing to investigate the matter.

Toy Emergency: Firefighters Need Help ‘Filling the Ambulance’">
Idaho Falls Firefighter and EMT Donovan Hendrix shows the toys firefighters are collecting to 'fill the ambulance.'

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — The “Fill the Ambulance” toy drive is wrapping up, literally, and Idaho Falls firefighters need your help delivering Christmas magic to kids this holiday season.

Firefighters are more than halfway toward their goal of filling an entire ambulance with toys to deliver to children and teens at the Ronald McDonald House and Idaho Falls Rescue Mission this year.  

Idaho Falls Firefighter Donovan Hendrix spoke with Local News 8 today as the drive works to help as many kids as possible.

“The goal is really just to fill that ambulance from the bottom to the top — stuffed full of items for children,” Hendrix said. “So a lot of times people will give gifts for younger kids, and this year we’re looking at getting gifts for ages 10 to 18.”

The firefighters are collecting items of all sorts for both boys and girls — from bicycles to makeup to basketballs. Gifts should be new and in the original packaging, as many will be given to kids in the hospital and need to be sanitary.

“The best part about it is honestly just seeing all kinds of people come together to help support kids in need,” Hendrix said.

If you would like to assist, gifts can be dropped off at any Idaho Falls Fire Station, Firehose Car Wash or Maltese Crossfit.

A Final Push

The drive to fill an ambulance with toys ends Friday with a fun event at Fixxology on Northgate Mile (by Fred Meyer) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Those that donate a new, packaged toy can receive a a free 20 ounce drink or 15 percent off their order.

On Saturday, firefighters will deliver the toys to the Ronald McDonald House in a Light Parade and Ugly Sweater Car Show. The car show begins at 4 p.m., and the Light Parade starts at 5 p.m. at Teton Toyota, ending at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center.

Help make a child’s Christmas by bringing a gift to your local Idaho Falls Fire station.

Partly cloudy Thursday with small chance of wintry mixtures for the Eastern Idaho and Western Wyoming highlands">Partly cloudy Thursday with small chance of wintry mixtures for the Eastern Idaho and Western Wyoming highlands

Partly cloudy Thursday with small chance of wintry mixtures for the Eastern Idaho and Western Wyoming highlands">

Moderate wind speeds continue to breeze through Eastern Idaho and western Wyoming as a west-coast weather system pushes inland from the Washington area. Most precipitation lingers north of our region for the remainder of the week.

While most places in the valley and Snake River Plain will remain dry, a few light wintry mixes may occur over the eastern highlands, including areas like Island Park. There also remains a slight chance of rain or snow across the Wyoming and Montana borders. This is mainly due to the high-pressure system in the Pacific that is steering the bulk of the wet weather around our region.

Temperatures will remain mild throughout the weekend. Expect temperatures in the 40s this Thursday morning as you commute to work or school. Highs in the mid- to lower 50s will reach Eastern Idaho by noon and linger until around 4pm. By Thursday evening, temperatures will drop back into the upper 30s.

Wind speeds from the Southwest remain in the teens and low 20s, causing a slight chill in the air. Overall, skies in the region will be clear with partly cloudy coverage. Expect more sunny skies by Friday afternoon and into the weekend.
