| Burglary Arrest
Items sold to a local Antique Shop tipped investigators off to a suspect in a string of burglaries in the Lynn Haven and Bay County area. Investigators with the Bay County Sheriff's Office were working a burglary which occurred on January 18, 2007, in which a home was burglarized and a firearm, a Colt 45 Semi Automatic, was taken as well as coins and other items. On January 29, 2007, the suspect went to two local Antique shops to sell two antique dueling pistols and some old coins. The pistols were purchased by the shop owner. Shortly afterward, officers from the Lynn Haven Police Department went to the shop, asking about certain items that had been taken in a burglary that occurred within the Lynn Haven city limits. The shop owner did not have those items, but did mention the pistols and old coins to the officers.
Patient and poor? Buy 'future antiques'
PHILADELPHIA -- What do a tea kettle, a toilet brush, and a trash can have in common? If they're award-winning designs by Michael Graves, Philippe Starck and Karim Rashid, they're antiques of the future, says a book with that title by design maven Lisa Roberts.
A former architect and product designer, Roberts began seeing high-design, mass-produced contemporary products as potential collectibles 25 years ago. Since then, she has amassed a collection of more than 300 objects, many of which are on display in her home.

RICH CRIBS
Will winter weather make it another "big chill" for actress Glenn Close when she takes to the beach to film the pilot of a new series for Sony Pictures Television? Two segments for the still-unnamed thriller will be shot in Center Moriches next weekend, says Nancy Grigor of Hamptons Locations.
One scene will feature Close, who plays a high-powered lawyer, walking along the bay with a five- bedroom contemporary home as the backdrop. (Grigor found the location.) The home was originally designed and once owned by fashion photographer Jacques Malignon, who has photographed the likes of Faye Dunaway, Rachel Hunter and Carol Alt.
