State police in Princetown are looking for the rightful owners of a collection of loot from their evidence locker -- all traced back to a series of home burglaries committed in the summers of 2011 and 2012 by Corey Hunt, a 27-year-old Schoharie resident who is currently serving 3 to 9 years in state prison for burglary. 

The objects seized are a motley collection: jewelry, coins, a Winnie-the-Pooh piggy bank, a Yankees wall clock, a guitar, and more. 

Police say they do not know which objects came from which of Hunt's burglaries, which ranged across several counties. 

All of the items are available for inspection and claim at the State Police Barracks in Princetown. People wishing to claim items should call the Bureau of Criminal Investigation at 518-630-1712 for an appointment. 

Troy Record reporter Charles Sweeney, who attended a Thursday press conference about the burglary, reports that state police may eventually discard the objects if they go unclaimed.

Looking over the photos of the burgled objects taken by state police, we have to wonder: Is any of this stuff worth doing 3 to 9 for?
