Wichita police are investigating the theft from an Old Cowtown Museum re-enactor who stopped Saturday night at the Texas Roadhouse at 6707 W. Kellogg Drive, to eat. His car was broken into and his guns and ammunition were stolen, police said.

The 64-year-old man called police shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday.
