Thief uses sledgehammer to break in, steals 100K in jewelry

Budget deal reached in Allentown after veto, lawsuit threat

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — General Motors has been sued over a 2014 car fire that caused more than $450,000 in damage to two central Pennsylvania homes. Pennlive.com (http://bit.ly/2iaWOCr ) reports that Erie Insurance Exchange and four of its policy holders claim the blaze resulted from a defect GM officials didn't adequately address. The fire began in the engine compartment of a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix owned by Bruce and Sheri Dohner, spread to their garage and engulfed their home. A neighbor's home also was damaged. The car was among 1.1 million recalled by GM for a defect that allowed oil to leak onto the engine's hot manifolds. The lawsuit says the Dohners got the work done, but the repair didn't work. On Tuesday, GM asked to have the case moved from Cumberland County Court, where it was originally filed, to federal court in Harrisburg. ___ Information from: Pennlive.com, http://www.pennlive.com
