Former commission candidate reports ‘Magic’ cards stolen

A former city commission candidate told police someone stole thousands of dollars worth of “Magic: the Gathering” fantasy role-playing cards from his home during the weekend.Michael Limburg said he had set cards out in two boxes Sunday night inside his apartment in the 600 block of Maine Street because he was planning to sell them, along with some CDs and DVDs. He estimated that the 2,000 cards were worth anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000.Limburg is an employee of Amarrr Garage Door who was on the ballot in last month’s primary election for the city commission but didn’t make the cut to the general election.He thinks someone entered his apartment between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Sunday while he was grocery shopping, and that he either left the apartment unlocked or didn’t shut it all the way. He said he noticed the cards were missing the following morning and filed a police report. “I think they just saw that it was set aside and grabbed it and left,” he said.The CDs and DVDS also disappeared, he told police, along with some cash from a drawer. -contributed by Eric Weslander
