LONDON -- British police are seeking a burglar who may have a heavy conscience -- or pockets -- after stealing 15,000 pounds, or $21,500, in 1-pound coins. Greater Manchester Police said Friday three houses in a street were robbed Jan. 1. The culprits stole designer handbags, jewelry, a Range Rover and the trove of coins. It wasn't clear why the coins were kept in the house. Constable Dinesh Mistry said the haul weighed "the same as two average-sized women, or almost 10 cases of wine."
