Coin Stealer, Safe Cracker Caught
12/26/2007 6:33:12 PM | Tina Kaufmann

Police have arrested a man they believe is responsible for allegedly stealing $750,000 worth of coins from an Akron coin store,plus cracking many safes in Akron and Greater Cleveland.

Authorities took three truck loads of stolen goods from Kevin Hartman's home, where he was arrested over the holiday weekend.

Hartman's been under surveillance by Parma police for over a month due to his criminal past. In the late 80's and early 90's police confiscated three truck loads of stolen merchandise items he was likely going to sell on e-Bay.

You remember the coins stolen from Chet's 10 days ago? Police say they found some of the coins in Hartman's home. The owner of the Akron coin store hopes to get at least some of his $750,000 worth of his stolen items back.

Police are still looking for his friend, Michael Patton, who allegedly helps him commit the crimes.

    This crook was way ahead of his time if he was getting loot in the 80's to sell on Ebay.

    Edited to add: This is nothing like Michigan. This poster actually gave a reference to his post.
