The Heaviest Burglary

Robbing quarters from a laundromat:

When officers spotted Clark three weeks ago, he was carrying eight bags of quarters and a hex wrench, authorities said.

Physical evidence discovered at the scene of the year-old burglary linked Clark to the scene, according to an Evanston Police Department statement released Jan. 9. A follow-up investigation verified Clark's involvement in the burglary, which involved a pry tool and $50 of missing quarters, said EPD Cmdr. Tom Guenther.

The charges were the same allegations that landed Clark in jail last year.

Uh oh. Repeat offender. 50 dollars in quarters is 200 quarters. It seems like it'd be pretty heavy to carry out substantial sums, or to steal enough money from laundry robberies to make this a permanent profession. We aren't talking Ocean's 11 here or anything.
