This story is all over the news as kind of an "offbeat" item with the anchors chuckling. Of note, WESH made a point that the woman didn't want her name out in the media. 

I just have to wonder who the hell keeps anything of value in a shed in their backyard? Don't most people just shove their lawn mowers and lawn/garden stuff in their sheds?

 
I agree, a shed seems an odd place for $16,000 worth of collectibles. That may be the amount she values them in the insurance claim, but I don't know if she should get $26 for each "limited Hasbro Episode I Darth Maul" action figure. Wonder of she included an eBay print-out showing how much they were going for in 1999.   

Since I'm already picking it apart, it's also odd that they report that her totes were "pried open." Isn't that just like saying that their tops were lifted off? What kind of "tote" do you need to pry open? Maybe the type of tote that is good for storing high-end collections in sheds.

It says she thinks she may know who took the items, so hopefully she'll be able to recover them. Whether she keeps them in a shed or not, that would really suck to get ripped off like that.
