Early Tuesday morning, the quiet town of Coeur d’Alene was shaken by a bold burglary at Pick 6 Sports Cards, located at 610 Hubbard St. #107. The heist, orchestrated with precision, involved a dark-colored, late-model Ram pickup truck that rammed into the front entrance of the store, creating a makeshift doorway for the culprits to enter.
The press release by local authorities detailed how the suspects swiftly navigated through the breached entrance, making a beeline for the most valuable commodities within the store – the sports trading cards. These coveted collectibles, adored by enthusiasts, were the prime target of the perpetrators who left no shelf unturned in their quest for loot.
Upon executing their plan flawlessly, the burglars hastily retreated from the scene of the crime, peeling away northwards on Lincoln Way/U.S. 95, before merging onto the westbound lanes of Interstate 90. Their escape, however, was marred by the unmistakable damage inflicted upon their Ram truck during the forceful entry. The tailgate bore the brunt of the impact, with at least one rear taillight left shattered in the wake of the crime.
A peculiar detail that has perplexed investigators is the discovery that the license plate adorning the getaway vehicle was reported stolen, further clouding the identities and motives of the perpetrators. As the Coeur d’Alene Police Department delves deeper into their investigation, the authorities urge anyone with relevant information to come forward and assist in unraveling this brazen theft.
