My brother moved out of his apartment and brought his stuff home to my mom’s house for a month while he went through settlement on his new townhouse. My mom in the meantime had contractors in the house working on redoing the laundry room.

When we moved most of Jeff’s stuff to the garage, I placed a heavy tin of quarters on top of the garage refrigerator. Jeff had been collecting state quarters since they came out in 1999, he collected a lot of quarters.

When Jeff came to collect the tin this weekend, it was empty. Judging by the size of the tin and the weight from when it was put on the fridge, he estimates there may have been nearly $400 in quarters that has gone missing.

The contractors used the garage as a staging area to store equipment before they brought it into the house. They were left alone in the house for full days at a time while everyone was away at work.

The police have the contacted.
