Found Collection

A 28-year-old Muskegon man has been charged with a breaking and
entering last summer that resulted in the theft of nearly $50,000 worth
of coins from a Norton Shores home.

James Edward Eller Jr., of 682 Evanston, faces 60th District Court
preliminary examination Wednesday on charges of first-degree home
invasion and safebreaking.

 Adverti***t

The incident was reported on July 13 in the 2800 block of Huizenga
Street. Police said earlier about 1,000 coins dating from the early
1800s were taken from a bedroom safe that was damaged during the theft.
A large number of uncirculated quarters and buffalo head nickels also
were stolen.

The night of the break-in, Officer Todd S***er went to Meijer Inc. and
obtained a surveillance video of a man who brought a large number of
coins to the store's automated coin-sorter, said Detective Gerald Mack.
The victim identified the man as an acquaintance, he said.

When police examined the coin machine, they found a large number of
uncirculated quarters and buffalo head nickels, Mack said. However, the
old coins have never been recovered.

A warrant for Eller was obtained, but he was never located. Mack said a
Grand Rapids-area police agency recently arrested Eller for breaking
and entering and possession of burglary tools.

Eller was arraigned in Muskegon on the two charges Dec. 21. In addition
to those charges, he faces a third-offense habitual offender count
based on convictions in 1995 for embezzlement and *** to
embezzle, according to his court file.

In another group I frequent, we had a member challenged by an LA Times reporter
(David Colker) for posting the content of an article he authored to our group.

A link to the site will generate *some* clicks even if the full text is
here.

A good way to make sure you have all bases covered is to include the most
relevant text and if readers like they can click on the link to get the full
story.  But then that puts more of a burden on stonej.  It's nice of him to
cull these stories off the web and to ask for more is looking a gift horse
in the mouth, IMO.

Me, I prefer link and text and in fact am far less likely to read the story
if I have to click a link and open a web browser.  Not that is really that
difficult on Windows but all the same I am less inclined to actually read a
story when the post only has a link.
