Ann Arbor police are investigating the theft of two rings worth approximately $1,000 from a home during a daytime larceny Friday.

Ann Arbor police Lt. Renee Bush said the incident occurred between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Friday at a home in the 2800 block of Quail Hollow Court. A 69-year-old Ann Arbor man was in the home during that time and two contractors were working on winterizing the sprinkler system, Bush said.

The man, who is physically handicapped, talked to the contractors and did not hear anyone else go in or out of the house during that time frame. When his 70-year-old wife arrived home, she noticed the lights in the bedroom were on, which was unusual.

More investigation revealed a gold 1966 high school graduation ring and a silver ring with a black center were stolen. The combined estimate of the rings’ value is $1,000, Bush said.

It’s unknown at this point if the contractors are suspects in the incident.

Anyone with information on this incident is encouraged to call the Ann Arbor police anonymous tip line at 734-794-6939 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800 SPEAK UP (773-2587).
