HIGH DOLLAR BURGLARY REPORTED IN SEDONA
***
NOTE – This media release was delayed due to several leads developed during the victim’s
initial report. The release of details at that time could have compromised the investigation and
although detectives are still working some of those leads, they are now seeking input from the
public on this burglary.
On December 9, 2011, just before 8 PM, Yavapai County Sheriff’s
Office deputies were called to the 11500 block of Boynton Pass Road
in Sedona regarding a residential burglary. Upon arrival, deputies met
with the resident who was waiting outside after finding glass in a back
door had been smashed out. She had left her home around 2:30 PM
the same day and all doors were secured. Believing someone may still
be inside; she waited with a neighbor until deputies could safely clear
the home. No suspects were found and the victim began checking to
determine if any property had been stolen. Although the house was
not obviously ransacked, the victim did notice a storage room door had
been pried open and gold and silver pieces valued in the thousands
were gone.

A list of the stolen property includes:
7,000 - 1 ounce 2011 American Silver Eagles Coins in plastic sleeves
12 - bags of 1920-1963 Silver Coins at 5, 10, and 25 cents
15 – South Africa Krugerands,
20 - 10 pound bars of silver,
20 - 5 pound bars of silver,
30 - American Gold Eagles with Canadian Maple Leaves
10 ounce and 6 ounce bars of silver with Johnson Matthey and Engelhard stamps
$80,000 cash in bank envelopes

The total exact value of these items is still being determined.
YCSO is seeking anyone with information on this burglary to contact Detective John Johnson

Link says "page not found" But.. 2 things come to mind immediately. Either the home owner is incredibly stupid to have that kind of stash in her home and no state of the art security system or she has incredibly good home owners insurance and is trying to scam them.

Ahh, yes. Link not working = case closed!

Someone was kind enough to post this in the PMs forum -

No ransacking, no searching... they just go straight to the storage room door (where the goodies were kept), pry it open, grab the coins/stuff, and head for the hills. If this isn't an "inside" job, I'll eat my hat!

Busted! What baffles me is the low security on this house-held $600k.
