Weighty load: Police say man steals $800 in change

[January 08, 2009]  SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The payload was hefty -- and the payback painful.

Police say a robber broke a window at a Salt Lake City home and made off with a paint bucket full of $800 in change.

Officers soon stopped a 48-year-old man holding a bucket of coins and carrying a crowbar in his pants. He was charged Tuesday with several misdemeanors.
