Police Blotter: $5,000 Fur Coat Missing After Garage Sale

Fur coat missing from closet

After holding a garage sale last August, a resident on Shannon Drive in Oakland Township discovered her $5,000 coyote coat with fox fur collar missing from her basement closet, according to an Oakland County Sheriff's Office report.

During the three-day garage sale last August, the woman's "garage and basement doors were unlocked, as there were items in both areas for sale." The woman noticed the coat missing a month later.

The woman filed a police report Monday afternoon after learning her insurance would cover the coat's theft.

Stolen GPS unit found during raid

A man whose GPS unit, Kodak camera and Sirius satellite radio system were stolen from his vehicle earlier this year will soon have his GPS unit back after the unit was found during an unrelated raid at a residence, according to an Oakland County Sheriff's Office report.

The items were stolen while the resident's vehicle was unlocked and parked in his driveway.
