A Gardnerville woman reported her home was burglarized on Tuesday and someone took $47,000 in furs.

-- A $10,000 engagement ring was reported stolen sometime when it was being transported to Reno from Las Vegas, a Douglas County sheriff's deputy said.
The ring was being repaired through Oliver's Fine Jewelry by a goldsmith in Las Vegas. Due to time constraints, Greyhound shipping was used.
The goldsmith said he placed the ring in an envelope, folded it four times and placed it in an Altoids box. It was then placed in another envelope, then a plastic bag followed by a standard mason box. The ring was reported stolen May 30.
