A Manhattan construction worker who was in town for a job is out approximately $1,000 after cash, jewelry, and clothing were taken from his motel room in north Salina.

According to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester, Domonic Oden, 27, of Manhattan, was renting a room at Motel 6, 635 West Diamond Drive, while he was in Salina doing construction work. When Oden returned to his room at approximately 8 a.m. on Friday, he discovered the door open and most of his belongings gone, Forrester said.

The motel had accidentally double-booked the room and given a key to the room to another customer, Forrester said. It is believed that the other customer, who may be from Colorado, took the items and then left without actually staying at the motel, he said.

Missing items include clothing, a Star of David necklace, a Jesus Christ necklace, $250 in cash, Forrester said.
