A coin collection, knife collection and jewelry were stolen during a burglary reported Thursday in the 8000 block of East Willow Road in Augusta Township, Washtenaw County sheriff's deputies said.
Someone smashed out a sliding glass door between 7:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. to get inside the home, a sheriff's department media summary said.
Anyone with information can call the sheriff department's tip line at (734) 973-7711.

If the Sheriff's Department didn't already do it, they should put all Pawn Shops within a 50 mile radius on alert. Thisd should make the booty totally worthless to theives. That is unless of course the thieves do not already have a place to fence the stolen items. It does sound as if the perps already knew what they were looking for. I hate to say it but you can not trust anyone these days. It could be a good friend innocently discussing what he knows ion front of the wrong people. This is why I keep all of my treasured items out of sight at all times.

OMG, I guess we are going to take EVERYTHING with us when we leave the house anymore. (maybe the house too). Just can't trust anyone!

Since two collections were stolen, it sounds like the burglar knew the victim and where the collections were kept.
