BURGLARY RELATED TO OHIO COIN SCANDAL?

"The Evergreen home of Michael Storeim, the coin collector
suspected to have ties to a scandal over missing coins in Ohio,
was broken into last weekend.

The burglary comes less than two weeks after the same home
was raided by Jefferson County sheriff's deputies as part of an
investigation into Storeim's alleged connection to coins that the
state of Ohio invested in with taxpayer money."

"The thieves took 500 bottles of wine, scuba-diving and
mountain-climbing equipment, jewelry, a stereo system, and other
items, Jefferson County sheriff's spokeswoman Jacki Tallman said.

Jefferson County authorities have estimated the value of stolen
goods at $500,000, Tallman said."

Tallman said that the burglary would not hurt the ongoing
investigation.

Storeim "told police that he thinks his home was burglarized
because of the media coverage of his case," Tallman said,
adding that the coverage could have given the thieves clues
to the valuables in his house."
