Museum Thefts May Be Linked

Police believe at least three burglaries that netted hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of horse racing trophies and memorabilia from museums were committed by the same thief, says Saratoga Springs Assistant Police Chief John Catone.Surveillance video from the United States Golf Association museum in New Jersey shows someone entering two rooms and working quickly to remove some of the items. Catone said Thursday similar video from the National Racing Museum and Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs is still in the possession of state police analysts.The director of the Hall of Fame, Chris Dragone, told CBS 6 he holds out hope that the items taken from the hall, including the 1903 Belmont Stakes trophy, still exist. We're still hopeful we're going to see these trophies again, Dragone said. He said that almost two months after the September 12 burglary, people at the museum are still a little bit in shock.The director of the Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame in Goshen, Janet Terhune, said she believes about $360,000 worth of trophies stolen in December must have been melted down by now. She told CBS6 News that in January she let Dragone know that investigators in New Jersey thought it possible that the USGA case and hers were connected.The USGA burglary happened in the spring of 2012, shortly after trophies were also stolen from the nearby Somerset Hills Country Club.Catone says some of the burglaries featured similar break-ins, similar tools and were completed in under three minutes, leading investigators to believe the thief had spent time in each place becoming familiar with the layout and the locations of the valuables.Catone told CBS6 News a helpful dealer in Connecticut contacted police about a week after the Saratoga Springs burglary, reporting someone had contacted him about selling trophies. Arrangements were made but the person never showed up, Catone said. Still, he says that dealer suggested police alert certain high-end dealers in New York City where a thief might try to unload such items.
