$5,000 in sports cards, stamps taken from Salina storage unit

? A break-in at a storage unit has proven costly to a Salina man who kept some valuable collections at the business.

The Salina Journal reports the theft occurred sometime between Sunday evening and Monday afternoon. The total loss is estimated at $5,400, including some hand tools, a television set and a lock that was cut from the unit.

But the real haul was a collection of about 15,000 football, baseball and basketball cards valued at $3,000, and a stamp collection valued at $2,000.

Salina police hope to hear from anyone with information about the burglary.
