Burglary Arrest
Items sold to a local Antique Shop tipped investigators off to a suspect in a string of burglaries in the Lynn Haven and Bay County area. Investigators with the Bay County Sheriff's Office were working a burglary which occurred on January 18, 2007, in which a home was burglarized and a firearm, a Colt 45 Semi Automatic, was taken as well as coins and other items. On January 29, 2007, the suspect went to two local Antique shops to sell two antique dueling pistols and some old coins. The pistols were purchased by the shop owner. Shortly afterward, officers from the Lynn Haven Police Department went to the shop, asking about certain items that had been taken in a burglary that occurred within the Lynn Haven city limits. The shop owner did not have those items, but did mention the pistols and old coins to the officers.

STONE Staff writer The doors opened to the past on Friday at the Aiken Center for the Arts as the Antiques in the Heart of Aiken Show and Sale opened to the public at last. "It's been a great Friday," said show co-chair Becky Robbins. "We've had lots of activity in the cafe. The dealers are excited because we've had lots of traffic and sales, attendance has been brisk and steady. Pretty good for a first day!" Antiques dealers from across the Southeast showed wares from jewelry to rugs to furniture to silver to artwork to books to vintage curiosities. The day opened with a lecture on "For the Love of Linens and Lace" by vendor Connie Marks, owner of Victoriana.
Firefighting effects
VANCOUVER -- Almost as soon as they rolled out the fire hoses at Main Street's Old Town Antique Market late Tuesday, the firefighters pulled out protective tarps. That quick thinking may have prevented serious damage to the downtown vintage furniture, glassware and knickknack store at 808 Main St., proprietor Nicole Leslie said. Kol Shaver, the owner of Zephyr Used and Rare Books, wasn't so fortunate. Water that extinguished the blaze on the building's third floor dripped onto a mezzanine level and into Shaver's office, where he kept his most valuable rare books. A book signed by photographer Ansel Adams, books from the 18th and 19th centuries, various art and photography books, and a collection of the Nancy Drew series -- all were soaked.
